I keep getting an error message as shown below even though I DEFINITELY have way more than 3 characters. I lost several posts because the web board interface deletes the contents of the box and reloads the page. Even Firefox cannot retrieve the post using Back.

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 3 characters.

Another error is when I use a Quick Reply, the board substitutes the usual Quick Reply text (look below this post to see what I mean). The only way to post now is a quick reply followed immediately by an Edit. I've posted from this computer before and I've had no configuration changes in a long time. So, it must be something on ENWorld I reckon.

I tried a new thread and that failed. This site is pretty much unusable for me now.

What browsers are you guys using (version numbers)? Neither happens for me; I'm guessing a compatibility issue with older browsers, but it's hard to tell since I can't replicate it.
 

I'm using Internet Explorer 6 - no problems yesterday or previous, but since this morning the forum has been acting crazy.

The only way I can post anything (since this morning) is if I click on 'switch editor mode' before I create the message, otherwise when I hit submit the forum software erases my post and gives me the error 'you must enter more than 3 characters'. After trying to post nearly a dozen times, I discovered that 'switch editor mode' allows me to submit a post.

Also if you hit 'quick reply' button, it also erases entered text and posts - 'click on quick reply button in a previous post' instead. You can edit afterwards, but you can't get an initial response to post.

Finally, I just clicked on the 'Facebook' link next to my account name in order to 'befriend' Enworld for my Facebook account, but when I clicked it - it logged me in ENWorld as Nedjer (I am not Nedjer). I could accidentally alter Nedjer's account if I let it - but I logged out, and logged back in as myself.

Don't know what changes to the forum software occurred last night - or if a hacker has messed things up, but something is wrong with the forum today.

Hmmm. OK, we definitely don't support IE6 (they're on, what, 10 now?)

The other stuff us definitely a bug though. I'll check into it.
