• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

When I post a comment here and then decide to add or make corrections to it, I always get a blank slate and don't see the post I just made.

Why is that? This happens some times.
 
It is certain special characters the forum software doesn't like. I found the issue a few years ago. The one I know causes it is like the apostrophe. Located on the number characters. I think it is an accent mark for non English language.
 
And it doesn't always work in all browsers or operating systems. I just tried it now and had no issue with the edit with the character in the post. This seems to be a problem related to the browswer/version, operating system/release.

The key you don't want to use if this happens to you is the key to the left of the 1. Having the ` as the lower symbol and ~ as the upper.
