    Hello,
    I use contact 7 on several websites. On one site in only one spot I am having a problem with a form. It is in a footer widget. Sometimes it submits perfectly fine and other times it sends the email with all fields except the textarea is blank when they really submitted a message there. I cannot seem to duplicate when it happens or figure out why it would do that. (I also use contact 7 database and it appears blank there too) Please help!
    It is the small form in the footer of this site:
    https://propertymanagement.beckyhancockrealty.com/

    Here is the code for the form:

    <p>Comments and Suggestions<br />
    [textarea your-message 23/8] </p>

<p> Please provide your name and e-mail so we can contact you with questions and solutions to your concerns (Optional)</p>

 <p>Your Name<br />
    [text  your-name 23/] </p> 

<p>Your Email<br />
    [email  your-email 23/] </p><br />

<p>[captchac captcha-510 size:m]<br />
 [captchar captcha-510 15/]</p>

<p>[submit "Send"]</p>

    How do you know if the message field is really filled? Also, do you have any reason to have no required field?

    We know because clients have told us they filled in a message in the form. You are right it should probably be required. any ideas what might cause the issue though? Thanks

    I rather doubt that the issue really exists. You know, people sometimes just forget to input and misthink they have input. So, you should have required fields if you want them to fill in.

    We have confirmed that it is really happening. I have made it a required field and will see if it happens again.
