  Old  Minimum Post Characters Introduced

To help improve the quality of posts we have introduced a minimum charactor rule for all posts. You will not be able to submit a post that falls below this minimum.

This has been enabled to reduce the number of posts which have no or little benifit to the thread - eg posts which just contain "lol", "great" etc will no longer be on the site.

Well I don't think you really need to know ( although you can obviously work it out ) - all you need to know you need to know is you can post "lol" etc posts from now on.

20 characters itaca. Good move on your part Zee, its better to get a full understanding of each others posts rather than just posting one word posts.

Nice one.

Quotes don't count towards that minimum. Why do you think that if all you wanted to do was quote someone, you had to put at least 1 character below it? That was the old minimum, duh.
