[not a bug] Sometimes my forum/group posts only appear as a '.' (full stop)

I've only experienced this when I post on my iPod, but sometimes when I post something the entire message is erased and instead appears as if I've only posted a full stop. When I try to edit the post with an actual message it still doesn't change. I'm pretty sure I've seen this happen to others as well, so I don't know if this has been reported already because I tried searching.

Is there some kind of limit to how much you can post in one day or something, or is this a bug?

  • Franthrax, you are using a mobile version of the site on your iPod (as you probably are aware!). I'm not able to reproduce this by just test posting to group discussions, but I expect something specific is being tickled when this happens. Are you simply going to a group discussion, the using the 'Post a reply' field and submitting? Are there previews involved, or any other pattern? (Would be interested if someone else notices this and has some feedback.)

  • There seems to be a clue here:

  • Ah, I bet this may be happening when using the editor in HTML mode...

  • Hmmm... I'll try to pay more attention as to what I do next time it happens, but usually it seems to occur after I've already made a couple of posts, which is why I thought that there's a post limit or something.

  • Glad to see my topic in use:D Yes, I always make the [greaterthansign] . [lessthansign] face. Neither works. I had to delete about 6 posts once in a group of mine. I made an alt for BL, AK and herbs!:D I love this game

  • Oh, and if you even try to put either symbol in the chat all by itself you will get the 
    "! You need to enter a message" text. 
    EDIT: I am on a netbook right now. The symbols don't work in the HTML or "normal" versions.
