OK, this is weird. I can use the search for all posts function in my user profile and see the first lines of what I posted in the Pit, but the post is blank when I actually go to the Pit.

OK, I changed a few things and it posted fine; there must have been something in the post the board didn’t like.

You left out at least one /quote. There is a bug in messages of over a certain (unknown) length, where if it’s missing a /quote it appears as blank.

Since you did successfully post it, I’ve deleted the one that appeared blank.
