Comfortably mid-table
Lately, when I've tried to edit or preview a post the editing area appears completely blank although the post appears in full meaning I can't edit or if I accept the preview and submit I get a message saying the text is too short.

Has anyone else experienced this or is it local to me?

I don't seem to have any clipboard or format problems on any other sites.

This particular thing may have been because I spotted your double post almost as it went up and deleted the second one, only to find you'd edited the first one while I was deleting - so I restored the second one and deleted the edited one.

Yep a couple of days ago I had the same issue as Spoonz.

Assumed it was something at my end but maybe not ?

As far as I can tell it's only on WoWs. It's okay on the other forums.

Fault on the Social Club too Hants.

Just tried to edit post 786 as a trial on the Beat The Bookie thread and got the blank just as Spoonz has pointed out in the OP.

Doesn't matter what browser or platform is being used either. I noticed this on Saturday, I wonder when it actually started and if it relates to the recent server upgrade. The forums refer to a potential PHP problem.

Where's Juggling Monkey when you need him! (I've still not worked out who he is).

First noticed it about a week ago Hants but thought I had probably fooked up in some way.
