FFirst letter

iit doesn't matter if it's capital or not. 

IIt only happens on this board. Has been happening for a long time. Usually I just delete. It doesn't happen unless it's the beginning of a new paragraph in the middle of paragraphs is fine

    I haven't had that problem, unless this post comes out like that.

    I haven't had that problem, but today I was having a strange similar problem.

    When I would go to a new line (after hitting enter), and begin typing, some strange sentence part would show up, and some of what I typed would go away. It's not doing it now, of course.

    Try turning off autocorrect. If that doesn’t work try using a different device: phone or computer.

    You also could try updating your operating system.

    Hey, I'm missing out on all the fun!

    I especially like the thought that "strange sentence parts" show up.

    I haven't had the double letters or the unexpected words showing up.

    But maybe I have something to look forward to!

    I have the exact same issue when I post from my Kindle fire but not from the computer.

    I was hoping that the strange sentence parts would end up being some earth-shattering message just for me. Sadly, no. The most I got out of it was the word "poetry" and then words like "within" and "into". Rather like talking with DH these days.

    Since the last Board update, I find that suddenly entire multiple sentences will disappear and sometimes, entire paragraphs disasppear.  POOF!!  Frustrating.

    Guess I best inform the tech folks.  Whenever you run into such problems, please do report them by going to the top of the page and using the, "Contact Us," prompt. 

    Off I go to do just that . . . .

    I used to have that problem with my old smartphone, which was an LG.  I now have a Samsung and I no longer have that problem.  It's nice not to have to go back and correct every new paragraph.

    I had that exact problem for years and it was only on this site. One day it just stopped doing it. It was very annoying.
