    If you used the quote function and then typed your text within the qoute?
    the system will not recognise your new text from the original qoute and thus assume
    you typed nothing

    so if you qoute and want to add text in the quote

    always add something like
    Hope that helps - after the last quotation mark

    Welcome

    One other thing

    you put this in ASAP
    which is for aquarium related emergencies

    I know this issue is important but I moved it to the bucket for now

    A better way to do that is to send a PM to one of the mods or to start a thread in the appropriate forum and then report it :)
