How does the chat thing work?

I tried to post a few days ago, and it wouldn't let me. Then today, I typed in "test", and it posted that. So I tried to post a real comment, and it wouldn't let me.

How does that doodad work, anyway?

I've noticed that certain characters or punctuation cause the message to not post. I'll mosey down the hall to the big VGOF data center and see if the hamster fell off the wheel and hit his head again.

Does the text you typed disappear or just stay there? There is a bug that I reported to Rick awhile ago where you hit enter or submit and nothing happens. The text stays in the window and it may take several attempts to enter it. However, I've never seen it take text and do nothing with it.

Edit: VGOF needs a controlled Discrepancy Reporting (DR) system and adjudication process... :whistle:
