Hello Everyone,
Darren here with Family Tree DNA. I have seen several posts that have been cut off prematurely and this is likely caused by punctuation that the system is failing to accept properly, so it deletes everything after it. I have seen this happen with:
'

and

If you are creating a document in word I am not sure if saving it as a plain text or rich text format might work, but if you paste text from word into the thread text window, be aware that you may need to delete these characters and then re-enter them. For example if you have a word document that says I'm R1b1b2, you will likely need to delete the apostrophe and type it again once the text has been pasted into the edit message window for the forum. I am not aware of this issue happening when you type the text directly into the thread text window as opposed to copying and pasting.
