This has been mentioned elsewhere but raising it here for a general record:
Often when trying to reply to threads I find it's impossible to type capital letters or use the left and right arrow keys to move the cursor. After some experimentation I've found that the culprit is the new video player. On any forum thread where there's an embeded video, this effect happens.
This will apply to any promo post with a trailer, which means it's going to have a huge negative effect on promotion as people will try to respond, but even though they've typed:
"Fabulous scene, awesome outfit, and Jane Doe is an amazing model! "
What actually appears in the text window is:
"abulous scene, awesome outfit, and ane oe is an amazing model thumbsup"
At which point they'll hit cancel and give up.
Tech-savvy users can get round it by using Notepad to compose a reply and then copy and paste it in, but that's only going to be a small percentage of the userbase.
I'm guessing this is probably why yesterday's post from The Fetish Couple, their first in a while, and my promo post for Violet Vixen and Isabeau, haven't received any responses (I replied to The Fetish Couple by typing the text in a terminal window and copying and pasting it in, there are no other replies).
Until this is fixed could trailers be removed from promo posts?

The vid player captures the arrow keys so they can advance the playhead as is normally expected on video sites. But that capture should be released once the mouse is inside of a text field. Would rather not remove people's trailers, but this issue should be able to have this fixed by Monday.
[Edit: I've temporarily just disabled the key captures, so at least you can type for now.]
