Tim the minimum 6 character rule has always been there. I take it your original Post goes through. Do you see the "Posting Quick Reply" msg (you have to watch close as it is quick to appear and disappear)? Then the 6 character msg appears after? That sounds like the "Post Quick reply" was clicked on a second time.

You are the only person to report this, but often others have a problem and don't say anything until someone else reports it. I suspect it is something on your end but I will report it to the support folks.
