Trouble posting?

Anyone who, when posting, gets an incorrect message saying you need to include a title and at least 2 words in a message body, please PM me with the name of your OS and particularly the name and version of the browser you use. (the version number should be in the Help menu -- last menu on the right at the top of your browser... pick something that says "about mozilla" or "about IE" or "About opera").

This seems to occur with at least one person when the text of the post is copied and pasted from MS Word to IE 5.22 in MacOS. Anyone with a similar setup please try posting to the test forum.

Thanks.

Can't post. Keep getting the same error message as everyone else.

I just tried to post the text that wouldn't post in the Tactics forum. Got the error message again. That particular piece of text was rather lengthy, and yet I got the "message is too short" error. I'm not sure what is wrong.

I just tried to PM my response to Flinchy's question in the Tactics forum. That won't work either. Same error message.

Tried the Test Forum as you suggested. Didn't work there either. Same error message. Maybe the post was too long???

Okay, so far we have:
MacOS, IE 5.22
WinXP, IE6
WinXP, Firefox 0.9
WinXP, IE6
Win98, IE6
MacOSX, Netscape 7.1
?, IE 4.0 (can't post to _some_ forums)

Some people's posts are rejected only when they copy and paste their post from word; others even if they type a post in the browser.

Hmm...

It seems to be working now. I don't know how you do the voodoo tyme, but whatever it is, it seems like it's working!

What was wrong?


Thanks! Fred
