Those two posts are too long. 87619 characters long. Longest post allowed is 50000. The forum would normally tell you this, however, we've got a lower-level filter in place to mitigate buffer overrun risks in PHP. This filter drops the offending POST argument at ~65KB, and logs an error. As a result the post script only sees an empty message and tells you to post at least 10 characters (the minimum post length).

As expect I see this in the logs when I try to post them:

Edit: Reducing the text to 65000 you get:
  1. The text that you have entered is too long (65000 characters). Please shorten it to 50000 characters long.
Adding a single character:
  1. The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.
