"The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters."
I tried adding characters 4 times but still getting same error message when I try to submit post.

Interestingly 1 works here. I tried it. That normally doesnt work..You problem posted fine. Were was this issue. Sometimes if you accidentally hit quote rather then edit, on you post, it gives that error.

What system are you using? android IPhone, pc?? Server?

I wonder if you're typing in the quote that you're trying to answer.

When I'm replying to a message I've quoted, I sometimes don't wait to type text after the end of the previous quote. If I don't type after the " [/QUOTE] " the software doesn't count the characters I typed. Then I see the same 'need a character' message like you did.
