So, why am I continually told that I am exceeding the 10000 character limit for messages when I am obviously not? It's strangely consistent. It will be one thread, and only one thread. Every time I try to reply, it won't let me, and I eventually have to use a complete separate browser just to post one silly message. Why? I ask.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

hmm... I'm not much of a web developer, and I don't have any reason as to why, really, but you might want to try copying all the text, leaving the reply page, then clearing your cookies. Then try going back to that page an submitting your saved text.

Try using FireFox...? But only TRY it, I'm not saying switch to FF, might not be for you.

Firefox is what I use to post the messages when this annoying error occurs.

B.net does not support Safari. Use Firefox.

Safari = Apple = phail

If Firefox works, use it. It's superior to Internet Explorer AND Safari. And since you've already downlaoded it, and used it to post messages here, why bother with Safari? It's basically IE for macs. The best choices out there are Firefox and Opera.

Apple =/= phail. Windows = fail on many levels (most importantly viruses and redundant processes). Even bungie thinks Windows is teh failz. He also said that it was not safari doing this, but FireFox. Just try downloading a few other browsers such as Camino and see if those work. If they don't than I cannot help you other than try clearing your cache and re-installing.

Actually. that is the problem. I had this problem for Safari for Mac. Then I switched to firefox and it never happened again. Safari isn't good in omparison to firefox.

That is wrong, it is not the browser's fault, it is the website for not being compatible. Safari runs much faster than Firefox in how it runs and uses RAM on your Mac. Firefox is slow on a Mac and is better one windows. The way websites work is that you program them to be compatible with several browsers so no one has a problem. If the website doesn't work with a browser, than it is up to the web team to fix the problem, not the person to fix it. Sure it is easier to download a new browser, but you are alienating a large portion of users who use safari (damn near all Mac users).

First impressions are everything, and it doesn't work on the first browser they use, they won't be happy.

there, look at the last page and that is the definitive answer as to the speeds of the browsers.

Hmm... I'm not sure whether you've actually coded a webpage before or not. But the way it really works is, you code a website using the international standards that all browsers are supposed to follow. Then you go test all the main browsers to see if they work, and you find out that at least one of them doesn't. So you go play around with your code to try to get everything working right. Then you fail at that, so you settle for getting the important stuff right. Since you don't have eternity to get your site online, eventually you have to just say that you're satisfied, and what you have is what's going up. And sometimes you miss something.

Basically, all I'm saying is don't be so judgmental of Bungie.net. It probably (almost certainly) really IS the browser's fault. Of course, it's still the web team's responsibility to clean up the browser's mess, so this is a good thing to point out. I would send an email to bnetbugs@microsoft.com. That's what Achronos has always suggested.

Brilliant, JAF. :D

I used to get that error when I was trying to be clever and used weird characters. Then even if I deleted the offending letter, it would consistently fail me. >.<

Try a different browser, but Safari should be fine (I used it for a long time) - stick with standard characters if possible, though.

Safari uses all the same standards as Firefox, Camino, and every other browser except one... which is Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer is the ONLY browser that uses a different standard which Microsoft tried to force on everyone. This is one of the reasons Internet Explorer was the only browser which couldn't display .png images correctly.

I haven't written code for a site personally, but I have assisted in site building many times and I do know what is going on, I think that I worded it a bit wrong though in my first post. I am not saying that it is necessarily the coder's fault, but it is still his responsibility to check how well it works on every browser, like you said.

If your read my post more closely, I said ON A MAC! This is on Windows. I said to use FireFox on windows, and safari on a Mac.
