Am I the only person that seems to have a hard time typing out any messages on this forum? As I type it gets slower, starts to skip letters and pauses sporadically. It's really frustrating, is there a setting I can disable so I can type normally?

you might try cycling through your message editor settings - go to your user settings, select general settings, scroll down to miscellaneous options and click a different message editor interface option.
I switched to the standard editor a while back because it was glitchy for me using IE8 (yeah, yeah, yeah...).

Ok, I'll check that out when I get home. I am active on 4 forums and this only happens on the cmra forum.
I use Chrome and havent noticed any issues.
Ted, I had the same problem and you were able to direct me to a setting that needed to be changed. Unfortunately, I don't remember what that was though....Quote:

I have setup and admin 4 forums with this same vBulletin version and I can't explain why this particular installation causes headaches like this. One of these days there will be time to sit down and figure it out.
This is the fix Ted steered me to long ago. The forum apparently defaults (or did at one time) to the full-boat "Enhanced ...WYSIWYG" editor - the change to "Standard" did the trick.Quote:

Yep, that seems to have done it here also. Chose "basic editor."
Try shedding that Compaq suitcase unit, you know the one with the green screen.Quote:

Sadly I do, the one where the keyboard attaches to the front?Quote:

Yes, this is what fixed it for me too.Quote:

Why is it though, that this Forum, is the only one that seems to be susceptible to these type-lagging issues, and resulting in us needing to make changes to our browser settings..?
What's different here, than the multitude of other forums we're all on...?!
Not a browser setting but a forum setting. But I would vote strongly for the default setting to be moved to "standard" since it seems like this is a widespread problem.

The "enhanced" WYSIWYG editor has lots of client-side javascript which renders what you type into a viewable end product in real-time (any BB code, spell-check, who knows what else, etc). It is known not to play well with most versions of IE and it looks like other versions of other browsers as well.
I bumped everyone over to the standard editor. If you want the WYSIWYG editor back, Settings --> General Settings --> Message Editor Interface

Please let me know about any unexpected issues or problems.
We appreciate your efforts Ted!
...Why couldn't you (and Danny D.) be slower on the track, like the Forum response, then I could have had a better Modern Classic podium!? ;)
