What the title says. I posted twice to a thread (the “How is religion encroaching on everyday life?” one), but I can’t preview and the post comes out blank. If it happens here, I will get worried. Regards, Shodan ---

Thanks for your response - **tomndebb** says it was because of an open quote tag. He fixed it in GD for me. I just spent some time fooling around, but I can’t recreate it. Anyway, if it recurs, I will check my quote tags. Regards, Shodan
