The link appears to be missing on and off. I posted one reply but can't post another.

There are issues in having a blank body (not allowed) and if the post gets too long. You'll see many of use break it up into parts 1,2,3, and so on.

In closing, it's not a known issue with XP.

PS. Smile. That's my humor showing in that last remark.

My reply wasn't that big but I deleted some of it and bingo it posted.

I know about the feedback forum however because The problem was happening to me in the XP forum, I posted here.

I will add to the wish list on the feedback forum, for an error message or something to indicate why the posting isn't allowable.

Cheers

Angela, the limit on the length of the post....
Nov 19, 2003 11:16AM PST

is rather unfortunate in a Tech forum like this and I have posted about this several times at the Feedback Forum.

You will noticed that some of my replies ended up in 5 parts to work around this issue.

This may sometimes led to confusion as the person reading the post has to flip through all five replies and may have difficulty keeping forcused and not being able to scroll up to review an earlier point which might be related to the one further down!

But as explained by Lee Koo we have to live with this limitation until such time funds are available to impliment further improvements to the new Forum S/W.

Until then we'll have to make the best of the current situation.

But keep up the good work and do continue to make your useful contributions.

Cheers.
Happy
