Default Can't post without error message

This is only happening on my laptop. Everytime I post I get a message that my post needs to be longer than 5 characters.

Any idea why or suggestions for how to fix it?

A lot of these little problems can be fixed by clearing your cookies.

There must be 5 characters in your text for it to post. This is set by the site VBB software for all computers, laptops and mobile devices.

Try to post a reply with one single digit and this will pop up. Can you let me know what device will let you post with less than 5? Thx for the help.

I tried removing cookies...didn't help. Ran Malwarebytes...no issues.

To be clear, I am not trying to write posts shorter than 5 characters. No matter what the length of the post I get the message you showed in your post when I post from my laptop.

Are you using IE on your laptop? If so can you try FF or Chrome on your laptop to see if you have the same error?

IQ was correct saying that sometimes clearing your cookie does marvelous things. However the site cookie can be reset instead of being removed. Just log out and back in.

After you try these things and still get the error I am at a loss. Since you are able to post using another device without the error that means your account here is fine.

If it were malware you can try another product that I use in conjunction with Malwarebytes. It is called Norascan. It will let you enable the software's ability to rootscan. Malwarebytes must be set up to do a rootscan.

Scroll all the way to the bottom of this page and click download. http://www.noralabs.com/index.php?op...file&Itemid=59
