Thanks for making aware of that one.
Checked, and all custom thread fields have 'capture tab key' marked 'yes' (scrnshot attached).
Forums without custom thread fields seem to be working ok.

Have you tried disabling the option?
If you've done heavy template edits, that setting won't work as you might think.

Thanks, still working on that one, sounds like all the template editing has had an effect.
Speaking of 'template editing' another quick question...
Must admit, asked question at http://community.mybb.com/thread-112152.html but no reply yet.
May be a little off-topic, but have tried templates, themes, etc, but not able to figure out why text is not wrapping at forum title display (scnshot attached).
Where to look for direction, or other good forum to ask as new question ?

Well the text is wrapping?
I'm guessing you're referring to where it wraps.
In which case, it's just CSS. You'll need to play around with widths etc to get the effect you desire.

Your right, the title display is centered and it wraps, but it cuts off before displaying the entire forum title text on the second line of the 'wrap'.
'Not wrapping' is not a good description... hopefully the above description clarifies.
Unfortunately havent been able to figure out even where to start with the playing around.
Have changed widths, deleted Threads and Post cells so only shows forum title and last post, different tags, etc.
Will keep playing, but just about out of toys.

That's all part of the title?
So basically, it's not a wrapping problem, it's your text being cut off. I believe MyBB has a limit of ~70 characters for thread titles, if that's about where the title is cutting off. If so, edit the 'title' field in your posts and thread tables, increasing the maximum length of the fields.

Just came back to this thread to ask that question... does MyBB limit the number of characters in titles ?
Must be learning something here.
About 100 characters/spaces, from about 120 in title text, are showing in current display.
Started googling for 'post and thread tables', and number of characters in titles, but getting mostly how many characters user may put in post titles.
Not sure where to look for the 'post and thread tables' you were referring to, and would they work for the 'main page' forum title display ?

Will do.
In meantime, following template is where have been doing everything with main page forum title/s display, and seems to work for everything except the text cut off question.
Anything there that could be changed ?

Not sure we are talking about same thing.
Am working on ยป Forum Management > Edit Forum (scrnshot attached).
Is that what you are referring to ?
It allows the full number of characters for the Title text box, but after save and come back later, it too has cut off the title to the display number of characters/spaces (about 100).
Hmmm.... guess its consistent, but not sure how to change ?
