Which post? What are you saying?

Testing post from mobile.

My guess is that either your post contains a character that’s messing things up, or the mobile skin is being finicky.

Can you try adding “&style=1” to the end of the reply pane URL and see if you still have the problem? That will override the mobile detection and show you the page in desktop view.

This thread suggests you are trying to include an emoji, is that right? The mySQL setup is pretty old, odds are good that there are some unsupported characters that could be causing trouble.

Thank you, Carleas. I will try not to smile!

Thanks again. Seems that was the problem.
