    Exclamation Help with message

    I keep getting a message when I try to edit a quote. It tells me that the message is too short and I need at least 2 characters .... What is this?

    You do not have permission to edit another persons post is what it sounds like. If I am not mistaken it would have to be changed in the admin panel to Ignore Words in [QUOTE] Tags For Min Chars Check . But I'm pretty sure it's set like that for a reason, maybe an admin or mod will verify this or have the right answer if I'm wrong.

    You should:
    1. Click on the Quote of someone elses Post, which will open up a new Message Box for you to type your comment in;

    2. Once the Message Box is loaded, scroll down below the quoted portion of the original quote and type your personal comment in it. (must be at least a few words)

    3. Then click the Preview Button to see if you wish to make any changes.

    4. You can also click the Spell Check too.

    5. Then choose Submit to post your comment.

    (Raymond was referring to clicking on someone elses EDIT button in their post. But as long as you are authoring your own post, you can edit it before clicking the Submit)
