Default help...I can't post from my computer

I keep trying to post from my laptop and I get a message from the site saying my message needs to be longer than 5 characters. I've checked my settings, dumped my cookies and ran an anti virus program and it's still doing it. (I'm posting from my phone)

Any suggestions?

I use my phone 90% of the time, but using computer at the moment but have never had any issues. I have had that pop upwhen I accidently double post and try to delete out but even if you type 5 characters it takes that. Might try to contact one of the Mods. Terry or Izzo can probably help you out with it.

Have you tried restarting it? I've never had this happen to me but our IT department always tells us to turn it off, wait a minute and then turn it back on.

It has to be something with your laptop but what, I don't know. I can't imagine what. I'm not a PC guru. Sorry.

ditch IE, it sucks, and is slow as hell, especially on this site for some strange reason.
Use chrome with the adblockplus extension, no problems or issues at all!
peace
