The version of 7.5.7 used by our message board was configured so that posters automatically defaulted to UBBCode Markup formatting only. Periodically, posters were coming up with blank / empty posts, other than their signatures. They were getting frustrated, too, making 2, 3, 4 posts (all blank except ...) until they gave up. Could be wrong, but I believe they were trying to copy / paste contents from emails, etc.
Our message board's owner believes that forcing UBB to use an auto-default of both UBB and HTML is a cure to the problem. Just tonight (10-31-13) he's opted to reconfigure that option so as to force the change.
Theory isn't tested to any extent yet. I accidentally tripped into this thread while trying to prove or disprove another problem we're encountering.
