Default I can't reply to posts

Since last night if I reply to a post it tells me my message is too short and to try again. My replies are a couple paragraphs.

I have logged out and logged back in, but same problem.

Hey Lauren...
I've never heard of this before. Too short is usually a one word post but not paragraphs being too short. And since you've already logged off and back on and still having the same problem...I don't know. I wonder if anyone at IB would know.
When you find out how to fix it, post it. Good Luck!

Not sure what is causing the problems that you people are having but I just now welcomed the newbies to the forum and didn't have any issues with posting my replies, maybe they already got it fixed, what ever it was.

I'm having the same problem as Lauren. Odd thing is if I hit the back button, then hit the reply button again it works every time.

Something I find interesting. If some people are having problems replying to posts, maybe I'm missing something here but why are some of those same people able to reply to this post, just a thought. If I am missing something, please explain.
