    'Message Too Short' Error

    i was trying to reply to this thread:
    http://nycaviation.com/forum/threads...294#post435294

    with the following response:


    but wasn't able to post because of the error message stating my reponse was too short. no matter how much text, and later on, pure nonsense i added i still couldn't post the reply. what gives?
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Cancidas, I see the problem, and it's a matter of BB Code.

    If you look at your post, you start off with "open code" to begin a quote a Nick's post. I see where Nick's post ends, but there is no "closed code" to end the quote. Because, by the code, the quote never ended the editor thinks that you had none of your own text and that it's all quote...therefore making YOUR post too short. You need to officially end Nick's quote by taking on {/quote} (using brackets though), and THEN begin your own text.

    That make sense?
