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.

                    Big Willie Probably because of something ridiculous, like the fact you've got a space in your username and quotes around it (it'll be something altogether stupid like that, because that's how software works).

                        Aside from having not enough time on my hands, I'm still here everyday.

                        Weird

                        @Burnwinter I posted this to your thread on Flarum, but I disabled every extension and still got the issue. I just tried doing a fresh install on a clean DB and still got the error. I don't suppose you have somewhere you could do a test install to see if you get the issue too or if it is specific to the OMITT's host?

                          Pepe LeFrits I'm not sure if you have any info on the hosting, but it could certainly be some sort of automated hosting middleware causing it.

                          A fresh install on the OMITT hosting setup? Is it on a test node? What is it, a Linux VPS?

                              Not right now as I'm about to crash when the Brighton Pool match closes, but I reckon a reproducible install from config (maybe a config GitHub repo?) for OMITT mightn't be a bad idea or at least that's what I'd be advocating if someone was paying me.

                                You wanna have a Zoom call some time in a quiet moment or something? I might be able to set up some non-rocket-science stuff to help with troubleshooting, configuring and customising the site over time, if you are short on knowledge of Git, Docker etc. If that sounds like a fair description, I'm down.

                                  Yeah, sure. I've also noticed a sporadic issue that happened a couple of times on Thursday and again today where the server CPU usage maxes out and memory usage greatly increases and the server goes down for a couple of minutes. Might be easier to discuss it on a call.

                                    Noticed some slowness and timeouts briefly today myself, though it corrected itself pretty quickly.
