I also could not update my profile photo, and have had a couple of posts that disappeared.

Well, life goes on. I hope this forum continues, despite the glitches. If there's a problem, I go away for a while, and it's usually okay when I come back.
The problems don't happen to me all the time, but often enough to make mention. I'm sticking to this forun as long as it's on, I'm not going anywhere.

Thanks. I was just looking the VIP membership, but I didnt realize that there was a direct donation option. I'll definitely make use of that.
Sorry, just wanted to point out that the latest version, v5, hasn't addressed the issues on mobiles as outlined on the vBulletin site. And that UU is only one version release back. Their reference to Safari on the latest version of IOS in the mobile section could be interpreted to include text handling issues with Safari browsers running on all Apple devices with the latest version of IOS. I believe we found in a related thread about long delays that many if not all UU users had that problem with Safari. It could be the same for this text editing issue also. Or not, which is why I suggested we get a picture of what platforms, OS and browsers are affected. With that info we could make meaningful suggestions to the UU admins, and the vBulletin / browser developers.

For what it’s worth...
I purchased my iPad Air about a year ago, and have not updated to a newer iOS since then, which means I am not using the “latest” iOS. The UU Forum operated just fine for me until earlier this year when Rayan asked everyone to consider moving to a different program. My technical difficulties with the Forum began shortly after that.
Now that's an interesting coincidence.

I have had the same operating system as well; having said that, things on the UU Forum used to function without any hiccups up until about a week or so ago.

I’ve got my iOS devices set to notify me re: updates, but mine do not auto-update. But... I also have OLD iOS devices, tho, maybe the inability to intervene re: auto-updates is applicable to the more recent iOS devices?
Auto updates are a pain. They often interrupt things I am working on. I have my phone set to let me know before it updates. They have killed several apps I used.

This looks like a server-side problem not (primarily) a client-side one. I just reproduced Kenn's degree symbol version by posting a message with a degree symbol in it while running Fiddler (an HTTP analyzer). The message posted to the server completely but truncated when displayed.
There could also be a client side component if some are sending unexpected symbols or other data that the server can't understand, but ultimately the server should handle that more gracefully than dumping the rest of the message.
And frustrating as it is, I hope it means that they're doing some input sanitization even if it's not being done well (though since the character passes preview, it looks more like a lack of sanitization. Time to create an account for Little Ukey Tables?)

Wow! Four pages of responses without even one mention of a ukulele! This has to be a record.
I'll try updating my picture again and see if it works today...

I don't let my Mac or iPhone or iPad auto update, I choose when it happens so that it does not interfere with my work. I firmly believe the problem is on the server side.

I'm reminded of the struggle one sometimes sees between significant others. Each partner says the other is responsible for the problem. The short tern resolution happens when one or the other backs down and lets the other prevail. Occasionally both will back down a little to let each other other prevail.
Almost always it is that some degree of communication has failed. And so it is with client server issues. The server should accept any and all clients or the client should accept any and all servers. Or.....

Mentioning a uke isn't necessary. We all have ukuleles playing in the back of our minds.
