Typing introduction I always get the 'text exceeds 200 characters' message?

Question

The Yahoo group I am attempting to join requires a written introduction of a maximum of 200 characters. When I enter the text I receive the message of having exceeded the limit. However the message box seems to have added formatting and spaces where I left none, the message itself is very short. What can I do about this?

reporting it wont be a quick fix- I'd locate the owner address at the bottom of the group and let them know there's a glitch, write your intro there and let them know due to the glitch you'll attempt to just type a very small intro to see if it goes through. maybe they can send you an invite
