Trevor you may be doing the same thing I've accidentally done a couple of times. When you select edit post it gives you the option to reply directly below. If you click on submit for the empty reply box it will give that warning, you need to click on the save button higher up, directly attached to the edit post field.


I'll try and take a screen shot of what I'm talking about after I grab my coffee.


Sorry, not having much luck with windows key and s on Win 7 because of the format and layout of this forum software."Powered by vBulletin Version 3.8.7 | Copyright ©2000 - 2025, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd. "
I can only get the submit new post (reply) showing where it catches me out if I'm editing my own thread not a single reply like this one but just have a look at what you're trying to edit and you may catch what I'm talking about.
I do it all of the time when I edit my threads, clicking on "submit reply" instead of "save" higher up where you have actually edited and get the "too short" (I've been told that before too many times, not quite 6', LOL).
I know how frustrating it is, my son who has better eyes actually pointed out my error to me. What sucks is I'm very familiar with VBulletin forum software, I used to be admin on a huge forum (3,000,000 plus registered members) running the same software some years back.
