Posting glitch?

K3nsh!n · 08-16-2011, 07:02 AM

I wanted to post a very long "wall of text" in Town Bookstore section.
However for some reason I am unable to do so!

For some reasons only a part of text gets posted! The spoiler tags, color tags get messed up! Editing doesn't do any good. It is as if I am limited to post messages only up to a certain number of characters!

I am new to this forum. So plz help me out!

If you are copying your post from word it will get messed up.

Using certain special characters in your posts will cause the forum to cut them out along with any text that occurs after it. Considering Microsoft Word uses a lot of special characters for punctuation and auto-correction, it's generally thought of as a prime cause for the post cut off problem.

Usually it's the apostrophes and/or quotation marks that causes this issue. Try manually replacing them.

Special symbols like pound signs are also a cause. I discovered this myself and Err explained how to go around this problem here

For future references, copy/paste before you post in the case that this happens. (At least, if the post is long enough that you don't want to re post it.)
