Has anyone else encountered this problem in the last day or so?
It's pretty annoying. Every time I've tried to either preview or submit a reply, the body of the reply becomes blank in both the preview or when you click reply, and this line of text appears: "Your message contains too few characters."
Can't embed youtube videos: "Your message contains too few characters."

Yes, that problem has happened to others.
I believe it's related to the explanation you can find here. I've made an admin aware of the issue, so it's just a matter of waiting for it to be fixed.
In the meantime, I suppose the best idea is to save a draft of the posts somewhere, so that the content isn't wiped out by that error.

It will let me post pictures using "Img" but if I put it in a spoiler I still get "too few characters" message

Yep, same problem for me, it is still not fixed. If I use the YouTube tag I get the "too few characters" message (even with other original text in the message, not inside the tag). OS X Safari Version 9.0.3 (11601.4.4)
