A little info.

Some of you may or may not have already encountered the problem that it somehow isn't possible to make posts that contain less than 10 characters. I have found a little solution for this

What you need to do when your post concists for instance only out of the word 'okay' is make a character before it like '-' then after that make a few spaces that act like substitutes for the characters. And after those spaces write down your actual reply. I've found that after you've done that you will only see one space so your post will end up looking like ''- okay''.

Might look and sound a bit weird but it offers a solution for now


Lars.

Re: A little info.

or you could just spend the time to make a complete thought/sentence. if not, say nothing at all.

perhaps this was meant to cut down on one word blanket-posting?

Yes in most cases it's better to just make a longer post, which shouldn't be too hard. But in threads like the word association game it's not very likely the posts contain more than 10 characters.

Yet another compelling reason to delete it!

Indeed, it's to avoid such things. Pretty nifty, heh?

Re: A little info.

This pretty much eliminates the word association thread, which is a good thing

BTW in all irony it was one of your posts originally saying just ''kay'' which pointed me towards this. Then later in the How Well Do We Know Each Other thread i found out the way to get around it.
