It looks like quoting posts that start with 'aside from' is not allowed. How bizarre. Thanks @Dragan for the help (I deleted the posts in the other thread to keep it on topic).

    Burnwinter … from Voltaire

    "xxxxxx, xxxxx from Voltaire" here won't work, and I can't quote "xxxxxx from Voltaire" above either! (See the original post for the actual banned words "Anyway" and "Aside" …)

    Truly quirky glitch, like someone's written a small, highly specific script to detect waffle. Which is naturally going straight for my jugular.

      Yeah, I got it for another term a while back. It's such a specific bug and easily worked around that I haven't looked into it much. I tried disabling all the extensions one by one but it made no difference. The next thing I was going to do was the same but clearing the forum cache each time, but that is a bit of a pain in the hole to do

      Got a link? If you ever gave them that php flarum info thing I will point them to it …

      Now I'm suddenly getting a "You do not have permission to do this" after trying to post something slightly longer than this.

        Coombs ok....this is odd. It wasn't the length, but rather it was a single word that is apparently banned from the forum. I can't even tell you what the word is because it won't let me post!!

        It is:
        "H@ving" (replace @ with "a")

            That was just a test but it actually does work for me lol.

              Coombs Interesting ... h@ving is a reserved word in SQL, and so is from. I think we're probably looking at a Flarum extension that is passing input to some subsidiary library without escaping text correctly.

                Coombs Having works at the start of a reply like this.

                It's all sensitive to the position of words in a post.

                  I can't reply with it either, like you've done there. I don't have permission.

                    Coombs Having heard you said as much, I'm now going to demonstrate doing it again.

                    But having tried to put it somewhere else in this post, it might not work. Etc etc.

                    I dunno what's causing it anyway, but I feel pretty confident that words like @side, from, h@ving etc in the way it all works is a sign some kind of "input cleansing" logic is rejecting these posts.

                      James Little bit here and there. Having said that one thing I will note is that everyone think they have the sexiest wife. As an aside this seems to be ok aside from the nonsense @Burnwinter is spouting.

                      Edit: They all work for me lol.
