Error Message When Trying To Post

[grover868]

I am attempting to reply to a post but get this message. "The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters." What I am trying to post is, "We are thinking along the same lines. " As you can see my post will be more than 10 characters. What is causing this???

You have to make the post over 10 characters (letters) for it to post. I see most people put this it the end if all they post is a smiley or something to circumvent to 10 character rule:

/10char

edited to add: "it works for me with and without a space in front"

It's odd because what I am attempting to reply to is "yes" Only 5 characters. I was able to post it here in 2 test posts. Off to see if I can post it in the thread now. **crossing my fingers**

Make sure also that you are posting AFTER the end of the quote.

I sometimes get that message when I Think I am after the last [/ QUOTE ].... and find out I am not.

That is exactly what was happening Robino. There was a "hidden" paragraph and I was trying to type in the middle of his post. Hope that made sense.

Glad you got it cleared up!
