Trouble making a post

[BlasterBob]

Twice today, in my attempt to make a post, I received an ERROR message indicating my attempted posts did not contain enough characters. The post I attempted to make consisted of a quote of someone else's earlier post and two sentences of my own and then lost what I had typed when the Error message was received. Anyone else having similar troubles with their posting attempts?

I have seen that a few times. Just tried again and it worked.

For really short posts, no big deal to do it over again but for longer posts, it can be a pain the the ass when the whole "well thought out post" disappears.
Oh well, I suppose most of my posts are considered [pileoshit]crap anyhow.

Nope. Not yet anyway... maybe this one will do it?

I don't post all that much, but haven't stumbled upon that error personally. Good luck!

Not enough characters? Like Fred, Barney, Wilma, and Betty? Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy?

While typing a reply, every so often a small yellow box momentarily pops up in the lower right corner of the reply text box that says "auto saved".
When I have lost my ramblings and have to reopen the reply box, there is a yellow tab that says "auto restore", I click this and most if not all that I tried to post is restored.

You neglected to include TFOGGER after Goofy.[LOL]

I'm having a similar issue as well, glad I found this post. I'm using IE11 and windows 7 professional, as this is a rebuilt computer. On this and several other forums, I can't post replies with quotes from other members, and I can't embed links, or videos.

ok, scratch that, it's good now, just not working on some other forums.
