Ok. In order to form a standard approach for this, and prevent me from chasing wild geese, I suggest the following:

At least 3 users have to be able to recreate a problem using the specified parameters.

Let's take this 10 character bug now as an example. I suggest you check what your "Message Editor Interface" setting in your usercp > options is, also, after clearing cache and cookies, tell us which browser it happened in (name and version), what OS are you using, and any procedures you followed to get the error. In case you're using the neat digit mod, try disabling it and see if the error goes away. Also try with a different browser, and tell me if this happens in all browsers or just one. Waiting for 3 people to respond with this data.

My data:

Attempted in Opera 10.61 | Chrome 5.0.375.127 | IE 8.0.7600.16385
Result: Cannot recreate 10 character error.

Account setting for all IDs I tried with are set to the default:
Message Editor Interface - Standard Editor - Extra Formatting Controls

[Zangetsu]

@Raaabo: Clearing the Cache/Cookies is not resolving & also the OS type...
this issue is related to browser....

[rhitwick]

Raaabo, the error only comes when you use "Enhanced Interface-Full WYSIWYG Editing" option for ur forum editor.

Does not come for standard editor.

For the Quick Reply, the editor is by default "Standard Editor" but a lot of us here use "Enhanced Interface-Full WYSIWYG Editing" editor hence such problems faced.

IMO, it won't matter which browser or OS someone use.

Still cannot recreate the problem from Chrome, Opera or IE. Now I'm going to have to install buggy firefox just to test this silly thing

[azaad_shri75]

I use only FF, and suggesting not use it, rather solving the bug...................

[topgear]

Let me try in FF though I'm a fanboy of opera

Testing using FF 3.6.8 - just installed a fresh copy and have not installed any addons and have not changed any settings.

BTW, posting using WYSIWYG mode

---------- Post added at 05:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 AM ----------

Test succeeded without any errors using FF 3.6.8 - have a nice day

Posting again from my good old opera 10.61 and the OS I'm using XP SP3.

Test results :

The 2nd and 3rd line was posted using FF 3.6.8. - success !

The 1st and 4th line was posted using opera 10.61 - success !

Posting test completed without any errors on both browsers

[Ronnie11]

erm the problem wasn't that of quick reply with FF..rather the problem was more of opening a new thread in this forum with FF...

one more thing i wanted to point out was that when i opened a new thread with opera finally,i could later edit it using FF but cannot open a new thread as i keep getting 10 char error...

[rhitwick]

Somehow "WYSIWYG" editor worked for me just now!!!
Raaabo did u do something?

I'm on FF 3.6.8 and with NeatDigit extension.

[Zangetsu]

^the problem is with FF 3.6.6

[azaad_shri75]

its with ff 3.6.8 also, I can't open new thread for months.......

[ico]

I use Firefox 3.6.8 on my Mac and Opera 10.61 in Windows. The cause of the problem is unknown but it can surely be fixed by clearing everything out. I have faced it in both the browsers and also fixed myself in both of them.

Ok.. got the 10 char bug while trying to open a new thread using FF 3.6.8.

[patkim]

Whenever I post a new post I get error --> message is too short, less than 10 characters. which is not the case. Thus preventing me from posting a new message.
Quick reply to exisiting thread is working fine.
Kindly check.
Thanks.

[topgear]

^^ you are getting this error while creating and posting in a new thread - right ?

What browser you are using ??
