I Do Believe I've Discovered a Glitch

In this thread, I tried to make a post, but it wouldn’t show up. A post would be made, but there’d be no text. I figured out what caused it, but I don’t know if it’s glitch in vBulletin, or if it’s one of those temporary things.

Anyway, here’s what happened and what I did that seemed to correct the problem. I hit the “quote” button, then when I reworked the post (splitting it up so that I could post my comments in the appropriate places), instead of typing
[/quote]
at the end of the first quote tag, I screwed up and typed . For some reason that prevented anything from showing up.

The beginning of this thread discusses a similar issue. Enjoy! (I know there is an ealier thread about this issue, but couldn’t quite find it)

That’s a known feature that has been discussed several times. :slight_smile:

Yeah, it’s a bug. It actually takes a combination of unclosed quote tags with a certain amount of text – short posts with messed up quote tags don’t show up as blank. (Old ATMB thread on the issue.)
