This is normal behaviour. It is required to enter at least one character. However, you're trying to submit a post which is exclusively a quote of an existing post. You must enter at least one character unique to your post.

In this particular case, the word game simply requires changing a word; I do this all the time via a quoted reply: In this case the unique character was contained in the unique word "SHORT".
- quote previous post
- change chosen word
- submit reply
Thanks for your reply and help on this, Dani.

The system doesn't evaluate the quote to see whether it was changed from a previous post. It simply discounts everything within quote tags from being a part of the one character minimum.

So, if you just type something up here, it doesn't work.
In other words, you have to type something down here for it to work, not up there.

Yup. You have to type something outside of what you're quoting others as saying.

Yes, I believe this could have been the problem. I am quite daft sometimes.
I'm sorry, Dani, for the false alarm.
