• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the site or with my phone, but I know the behavior doesn't occur with other websites from my phone's browser.

I am using Android 8.0.0, with the latest Google Chrome browser, and Gboard.

The "suggestion" bar that appears above my onscreen keyboard does not work correctly about 80% of the time. If I swipe in a word, and get it wrong, tapping the desired word from the suggestions bar does not change the text in the forum box. Alternatively, it changes the text to some non-word mashup of the word I accidentally typed and the word I tried to correct it to.

This seems to me like the problem should be local and specific to my phone, but no other website or app exoticse this behavior. (<- Perfect example: I tried to type "exhibits," got "exotic," tapped once to correct it and "exoticse" is what it pooped out.)
