Editing a post - Guild Wars Forums

This is actually a question about this forum, not the game.

I was trying to edit a post I made earlier. I went into the advanced edit screne, made the changes, then clicked 'preview' and it showed a completely empty post body. Nothing was there anymore except the title.

What did I mess up?

not quite sure... you did the right thing. Did you try again?

you could try copying the body of the post so that even if you post a blank one you could just re-edit and then paste.

Ctrl A then Ctrl C are your friends whenever attempting to edit a post on GWG.

You may have messed up a tag somewhere, or you made a post that was too long. It would help if you told us what you were trying to add/edit.

I've had similar experiences, usually as a result of accidently hitting some ALT or CTRL + something. But in your case, it could be nearly anything, including just a random glitch by Guru.
