The issue must be surely a JavaScript issue or the mod not detecting any data send in the field. It must be a very small and easy to fix bug. My guess its not counting characters correctly and it assumes always the length is not correct.

Yes, waiting for versions is fine, if you have a temporary fix which I don?t. Im even more curious now because the other poster that said had the same issue like me fixed it by uninstalling and re-installing the mod. Something I can?t try because I have products already added and would lose them.

I'll indulge your curoisyt then...

From what we've figured out you're correct, there's something up with the script count and the comments being passed to the right field name.

The solution is to accept the message element directly:

$backupmessage = $vbulletin->GPC['message'];

and then check if we need to use it later in the script

if(!$comments AND $backupmessage){ $comments = strip_tags($backupmessage,'<b><br><br /><strong><em><i><u><ul><ol><li><p><font>'); }

[we all filter out all but basic html here, just in case].

Oddly the formatting seems to be the same even if the backup is used indicating that the editor still runs to a certain point.
