Thanks CJ.
I wonder if its this .. >> text << ? Often I will use those arrows to 'quote' in reference to my reply .. However.. there are times it doesn't happen using them and sends just fine ... it seems random and inconsistent as other times, same thing, first couple of lines of the quote will send but then the body may disappear without the use of them too .. :shrug Ill test it a little more

Update:
:o: I have since learnt the arrows create an instruction to 'ignore.' .. (and Im told was used with html to redirect which was changed bc of malicious redirects n other nasty techy stuff like that ... ) Interesting indeed!

Learn something new everyday Thank you xD

Its confusing and hard to describe without causing the problem itself. The arrows are used in html to open and then close an instruction, to change a font, for example, but, due to the way malicious code could be inserted, as in re-directs, offensive images, etc... html is generally disabled in most chats/ boards.
But... the instruction is still seen but gets ignored.. i.e. not displayed. So... even the inadvertant use of side-facing arrows can confound the chat into thinking it is seeing html and as the text is effectively garbage to it.. nothing gets displayed.
