    I just got done doing a pretty in-depth review of a beer. Then when I submitted it, only the first 2 lines are partially there. It seems like this happens randomly maybe 1/10 times I review. Just enough to be a thorn in my side.
    example:
    [​IMG]
    this was probably around a 500 character review.
    I’m using an iPhone. Not sure if there’s a glitch on my end or what.

    I've never heard or seen this before. My first thought is: Are you trying to submit any special or strange characters?

    Had similar experience when using ">" character.

    Actually I did use < character last time. Shoot that is where they cut off. Darnit. I think jakecattleco cracked the code. Now please fix the code Todd. :joy:

    Or just stop using the “>” or “<“ signs.

    I’m trying to be efficient damnit. I could adapt. I never thought that would be the cause though.

    I could stop using those characters, but it seems more professional to bring it to the attention of @Todd
    Whether there’s a fix for it or whether it’s worth fixing is his call. I can adapt.

    I've found that on occasion, there's been an issue where something in a post has screwed up an entire page. I think trying to offer some style (e.g. bold, italic, etc) and embedded content in a forum has its challenges, for sure. Hopefully "normal" application data that might use what a system views as tag indicators can be accounted for.
