<p>There seems to be a lingering problem on CC that causes posts to be truncated especially when using the quotation feature or simply when cutting/pasting text. </p>
<p>If it happened to you, please add your name to this thread and links to the posts where it has happened.</p>
<p>I don't think I can be bothered to go locate the link, but it was one of the early responses to the thread about the the 100 best modern books published by Time magazine. I was pasting from a Word document. I've never had a problem before or since. At least not on my end. I received a PM that was cut-off recently and had to ask to be sent an email.</p>
<p>It's happened to me several times, and it's very frustrating. I had to repost this</a> thread three times before it went through properly. Accents seem to be causing problems on a regular basis, but sometimes it's much more random.</p>
<p>It's happened to me but I also don't remember the thread. It also happened when I was doing a PM. I thought it was me, but after reading the numerous instances where it happened to others, I no longer think so.</p>
<p>it happens to me every time I try to use an accent.</p>
<p>It has happened to me a number of times and it does seem to occur with longer posts and especially with quotations. I have had to hit the "back" arrow , copy the entire content of my post as I was composing it, hit the "forward" arrow and then "edit" my truncated post by copy/pasting the full entry and saving it.</p>
<p>It happened to me when I answered a post titled Lost Dreams, or something like that. Since I post only rarely, it's easier for me to draft in Word and then cut and paste. Took me a couple of times for the post to stick, and I thought it was me.</p>
<p>The probelms I've had lately is that I'll write a reply and hit 'send' but it won't go through. It tells me I need to "refresh" the page or something of that sort. But I can't do that without losing the post I just wrote.</p>
<p>It has happened to me when I post using quotes and also when I tried to send a PM using a cut and paste. Very frustrating!!</p>
<p>I've had it happen, I'll try to loca</p>
<p>^^:)^^</p>
<p>Yes, I have had it happen when trying to use quotes.</p>
<p>^^<strong><em>ROFLMAO</em></strong> ADad!!!!!!!!!!!! :D</p>
<p>It's happened to me too, when I tried to copy and paste a long post that had written in a word doc...I had to copy it paragraph by paragraph, and then it worked, but it was a major hassle! :eek:</p>
<p>Ditto what b said, only it wasn't a word doc. It was just lines of text from an e-mail I was trying to quote. I kept deleting and reposting . I finally had to type the last paragraph in by hand.</p>
<p>It has never happened to me. I quote a lot. You can see my post count.</p>
<p>I have found it happens when certain characters are used within a quote -- any sort of formatting code (such as trying to use bold or italics), or an apostrophe.</p>
<p>has happened to me both when posting & when PM'ing, but for some reason not recently.</p>
<p>It has also happened to me several times, especially in the past several weeks. Very frustrating.</p>
<p>Maybe some extremely verbose posters will take the hint and practice a little self-truncation.</p>
<p>Me too, trucated at first quotation mark when copying a long post from Word. Most recent episodes were trip reports (in Parents Forum) to USanDiego and UPacific. I was able to "solve" this problem by using the EDIT function and copying in the trucated part. This works for me even if the trucated part contains quotation marks.

<p>It happens most often when I cut and paste from other sources within a quote. Re-typing the same text usually alleviates the problem. I attribute it to embedded hidden characters.</p>
