1) When I tried to post straight up in the Yard Sale regarding wanting to buy resort boots.
2) When I edited the post above it disappeared upon saving the changes.
3) When I PMed Silas. His message said he got my pm, but it had no content.

It happened again the next day when I tried to edit another post that had been up for a day.

i was copying text from notepad and when i would hit preview it would show blank. i screwed around with it for 10 minutes or so, didnt seem much rhyme or reason but certainly pasting a block of text in wouldn't go no matter what. it was weird/buggy almost like a space or a certain character was making it stumble and show blank.

When I try to edit, the post disappears. This seems to happen with large posts more than it does with small ones.
I just edited this short post without problems.
Then I edited this post a little more (adding some text) and the board ate it.
I've reduced the size of the post a little bit. Let's see what happens now...

Next, I'm going to post the same bunch of characters, then edit the post slightly.
I'll do this in a new post (following this one)
If my theory is correct, the edited post will be eaten.

I posted that block of characters with an opening line saying "Testing 1 2 3".
Then I tried to edit the line to say "Testing 1 2 3 4 5" and the post disappeared.

So, I think the size of the post is not a hard and fast criteria for being eaten.

I did some experimentation with post length last night and couldn't get the board to eat my posts. But I've had difficulty with long-living sessions to the point where I've had to manually clear my cookies from turns-all-year.com and log-in again.

When I put the error Google threw at me in a quote anywhere in my post, it disappears. When I remove the quote, my post shows-up.
EDIT: Holy crap, it has to do with smart quotes. You know, the fancy versions of ' and " that software like Word uses. If you put either of those in your post, POOF!

For those of you who aren't even certain about what a "jay peg" is, character encoding sets like ASCII and UTF-8 are just different ways of encoding all the characters that exist around the world. ASCII is extremely limited, using only 1 byte per character. It can only encode 128 different characters. There are certainly a lot more than that in the world, so Unicode was invented and with it came a whole bunch of different encoding schemes. The bottom line is that some characters (typically Chinese/Japanese) take up to 4 bytes (32 bits) to encode. But characters which can be encoded in ASCII don't need that much space, so there's no reason not to use a variable-length encoding scheme where some of the first "code point" hints at how many of the following bytes the character occupies. Now that I've slaughtered that explanation, you should know that Wikipedia has a good article on UTF-8 that you can read if you want a better description: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8

Is there a particular way in which the UTF-8 characters need to be entered/a browser configuration for UTF-8 that might matter?

Okay, I've discovered some more things. Specifically, that the board "eats" posts when you use characters outside of the ASCII encoding set.
This looks like it may have been the problem, and has now been fixed. I'm not sure yet if there were any other circumstances causing the board to eat posts (I haven't been able to reproduce any), but non-ASCII characters will no longer cause the board to eat posts. I'm hoping this has completely fixed the bug. If anyone still has posts disappear, any observations would be much appreciated.
