Every time I reply to a post and subit it, I get a message is too short notice. Then all I wrote (trust me, not short in the least) is gone! I have to go into advanced, retype it all then it goes. What gives?
 
from experience you have to have at least 15 characters to post a message.... are you attempting to post with less than this???

hmmmmm - well that bottoms out my techno expertise :D sounds like it a El Lorens thing so hopefully once he sobers up tomorrow from DEMA he can figure this out for you!

cheers

edit: hehehehehehe - maybe it was me... i will submit my min 4hrs labour fee invoice immediatley :D
 
Short?
 
I was having the same problem a couple weeks ago, it was intermittent. It seems to be working now. I was getting to the point where I copied every message and then posted it when the advanced screen popped up.
 
Huh?....

oops sorry :wink:

I've had that problem at times and I always highlight and save messages before posting (and even during typing if it's long) .. toooooo many times I've written out the "perfect" response and had it disappear when I post it (sometimes after rewriting multiple times, grrrr)
 
Thank you! At least I know it is not me!

It just happened again...TWICE! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I compose most of my responses in WORD if they are more than a line or two and then copy and paste them into the reply section. I have had to retype way to many responses.
