DL:
It means that you've accidentally typed all of your replies, INSIDE the Quoted material. When you do that, the text you enter isn't counted. The site is working fine.
If you're trying to INTERSPERSE your replies, type open-bracket /Quote close-bracket to close the section you're quoting. Otherwise, the forum software thinks that all you are doing is putting the previous message (mine, in this case), in a quote.
So, put open-bracket QUOTE close-bracket in front of any section you want to quote, and open-bracket /QUOTE close-bracket behind it. I tried to do it here in the QUOTE tags, but it rendered the BBC (old BulletinBoard Code, IIRC) anyway. If you pretend that my () are [ and ], it would look like this:
(Quote)This is the quoted material.(/Quote)
Right? The square brackets, at or near just above your "enter" key.
Hope that helps.
