I directly typed into the Quick Reply box, viewed after submit but then the post disappeared when I was redirected, the same as before. I have never used copy and paste and I'm not sure if ghost characters can be submitted via keyboard. All instances of phantom posts have occurred on an iPad and never on a PC. I'm more suspicious of the iPad at this point. Even on Internet browsing, the iPad has slightly different results of similar keystrokes which leads me to suspect something about the keyboard mapping/translation of the iPad.

Also, in all instances longer content posts only resulted in phantom posts. Short content always submits fine. Lastly, corrections are always done on long posts before submitting.

I hope this additional information assists the technical support staff assigned to this. Maybe it is as simple as a double key press creating a control character not understood by the forum software.
