    I'm trying to edit a post in Trade Market but it won't work. When I press on 'Save Changes', the loading bar comes up for a few seconds then dissapears and nothing happens. Does anyone know why this is happening?

    Have you, by any chance, reached the limit of characters in a post? I believe it's like 200,000 but I can't be sure.

    Divide by 10, and you will be much, much closer. At 200,000, Dostoevsky would be proud of you.

    It doesn't seem to be character limit because I tried removing 3 items and putting 1 back in but it didn't work.

    I just looked at your shop. Every one of those colors has a full start and end coding in BB code. You have most likely reached the character limit. When you look at your post, go to edit it. In the upper right-hand side of the post is a stylized image of a page, and when you hover over it, it will say "Use BB Code Editor". Use it. You probably have a lot of "lost" BB code, for one, and for another, you are using an excessive amount of colors, which, for each color, has to have 14 leading characters, and 8 ending characters. That's eating up a huge amount of your post character limit.

    The reason it wasn't working yesterday is because when I clicked on BB Code Editor nothing happened, I didn't know something had to pop up. I got it to pop up now but what text am I supposed to remove?

    I'll give you a couple of examples, however, I can't cut and paste the code in here directly, because the forum software, Xenforo, will, of course, read it as active BB code, and display it that way, rather than display it directly:

    The line for "~Leggings~" has four instances of opening bold statements (bracket B bracket) and four bold closing statement (bracket /B bracket), where you only need one pair of opening and closing statements. It also has two opening size statements (bracket SIZE equals number) and three closing statements (bracket /SIZE bracket), where you only need one opening and one closing statement.

    All of your items have multiple problems, also. There are multiple color opening and closing statements and multiple bold opening and closing statements that you don't need.

    The Xenforo editor, while nice, remembers anything that you do as far as editing goes, so it's right there working along and willing to fix whatever it thinks you meant to do. So, it adds tons of junk that you don't need and don't want, to every line, as you go along editing things. Mainly because it remembers whatever you did last. Every time. You're better off using an offline BB code editor, and copying and pasting your shop to the forums, or directly writing things in BB code, than using the built-in Xenforo editor.
