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.
