Cheetah was pretty much beta but was still labeled at OS X.  I also would have thought that they would save that for last. Maybe Lion as King will the the last.

It wouldn't let me edit it in either... even with a 'goofy' sentence with those words....

Later... Even in quotes it wouldn't let me use a combination of those words!!!

OH THANK YOU BOB!!

 I thought I was going crazy. I have tried 3 different identities, 2 browsers, quit and restarted and could not get it to work unless I put some of those words within quotes.

Now I am just wondering why?

Cougar hopped in his new Lynx, started the engine and raced up the street. He was munching on the Apple he'd grabbed from the counter, wishing he had time for toast and jam. As he drove to the office he mulled over the issue facing him with his first client. What to do with the trademarked letters? It was a real puzzle.

I created and posted this using quick reply. I was able to use quick edit to bold the secret words. biggrin.gif

Using full edit ... I'm wondering why those words are behaving so oddly and do they have to be in a certain order?

Now write it again but all in one sentence, not separate ones and don't use commas.

 IE: C--- hopped in his new L--- started the engine and raced up the street munching on the A--- he'd grabbed from the counter.

No luck. Got some sort of Forbidden error message.

OK, I've narrowed it down to just Lynx.

Notice it shows up in that sentence at the end.

BUT if you use L--- in a sentence and it is not at the end of the sentence then it won't be accepted.


Try it.  All you have to do is write something very simple like 'Lynx' is a cat but don't use the quotes around the word.

Even just a two word sentence like: L--- is.  Forbidden.

And lowercase l---  is.  Also Forbidden.

Even L---  .  (leave a space before the .) In fact as long as there is a space after L--- anything can be put there, numbers, letters or even NOTHING, just a space.


Amazing...  ohmy.gif

Uhm, kriss, do your parents know about your problem? Do they even know where you are, right now?! laugh.gif

So, you're saying that the forum software won't accept a sentence with "Lynx" anywhere other than as the last word?! eek2.gif

Strange, indeed. There must be something in the php parser that looks for that word. dntknw.gif Maybe it's the name of the server the developers used. Or one of their passwords.

Y'know, I really thought I had lost it but it is still acting up. Maybe we need to run the latest software upgrade. Thinking.gif


We don't have any word filters in place and I've tried misspelling or using similar words but only L-y-nx will cause the Forbidden page to show up.

Go ahead, try it.  toothgrin.gif
