Does anyone else have trouble when using keyboard predictions when composing a post? Never trouble a letter at a time, but predictions get hosed for me.

JCGrill the only thing I can think to suggest at this point is to toggle on/off predictive text and/or reset your keyboard to default to see if that helps. Settings/General Management/Language and Input/On-Screen Keyboard/(pick the keyboard you use) then toggle the predictive text settings on/off. Or at the bottom try Reset to Default.
The last time I saw an issue that was similar to what you are describing it was the web app itself. But since this doesn’t seem to be globally reported, then I don’t think it’s this site.
Good luck!

Maybe not universally reported but there is at least one other person responding to this thread who says they have issues? I use it far too much to turn it off. I thought this was the right forum to post about problems, but the moderators are silent so perhaps not. For the time being I guess I live with it.

Well... this is a problem with your device and not the site, but we can still help!
One of the problems that I had was selecting to quickly.
I would start typing, the word I wanted popped up, but changed just as I clicked, getting a different word.
Or my big fingers would hit one of the top row letters too, causing the words to change before registering the click.

If I thought the site could have any effect on this I would work on finding a solution here. But this is a device issue. I could not tell you why this only happens for a specific app (on your device) and this site.
That would be very unusual. However, to be sure, I have searched for a solution and, so far, nothing. No one is having this issue (or at least not posting questions about it).
To be sure, what device, os, and app do you use to access this forum?
I have never heard of (nor could I imagine) a website having the ability to influence a devices "predictive text" functions. That is all on the device. The device could have some feature that alters itself depending on the content of the site or how you use the site. It could even be some other app or plugin that is the cause.
I can investigate further once you tell me the device, os, and app you are using. (Ie. Samsung S7, Android, Firefox).

Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet, SwiftKey keyboard (although it happened with GBoard as well), Android 7.0, Chrome browser. I wouldn't waste a lot of time on it. I do understand what you are saying, it's just difficult to understand why I never experience this anywhere but here, and with multiple keyboards. Maybe it is a chrome thing.

No worries bother. I am here to help.
Sometimes it is the site, sometimes the device, sometimes the user, sometimes other, and most times a combination of all four.
It could be a Chrome thing. Since Google created Chrome, they could be "helping" by using words from their index on this site. Since much of the site is BBQ and Grilling specific, those are the words that it is trying to predict. Again, just a guess.
If you ever notice a solid pattern to the problem, let me know. I want to be certain that it is not this forum causing the problem.
