Thread: Post validation of the forum software does not seem to work (bug in forum software).

    Default Post validation of the forum software does not seem to work (bug in forum software).

    A few minutes ago I attempted to post a Quick Reply here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...=1#post2498522
    For some reason it ended up empty; but originally it was a slightly different phrased version of my second attempt: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...=1#post2498530

    This suggests that over the forum upgrade a crucial bit of forum software ended up broken: previously one could not post without including at least 3 characters of your own, so such post validation logic should've caught this error and rejected attempt #1. Or alternatively the forum/database ate my post and is currently mulling over the efficiency of various types of engines.

    Yes, quite odd. I thought there might be some content embedded but invisible, but when I attempted to quote your #1 (which should have revealed any content) I got the usual "The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 3 characters."

    Momentary anomaly? I can't reproduce it. Can you do it again?
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Trouble is: I don't know how I did it, because as far as I was aware I posted a proper reply to a thread and it got eaten.
