What the heck is wrong with these forums?

Post by AshFall »

I'm trying to post an AAR for the strategic command WW2 series.

It's being sabotaged by the forums constantly blocking posts referring to "phone numbers, links" etc.

I am absolutely sure there is no such thing in here, but yet...?

Help?

Wait what?

You mean the [Red window insert] thing?

It's just a reference for where to look on this picture I was trying to embed.

There is no other kind of link or anything in there...

Maybe it is the brackets around the "Red Window Insert" thing. How about simply changing the font color to red?

I'm with Loki. The crime was in the missing apostrophe.

Yeah, it totally couldnt be that ASPPlayground.NET is on V5 now and this board is still on 2.4.5.

And yet I suspect that the issue stopping the post is the picture that was added. I also suspect that this is because the 'auto' blocking of links and pictures for new users.

That sounds like the likely culprit. It's certainly damn random, I can post something, but if I try to edit it afterwards it blocks it. Jeez. :P

So basically, wait until the new user period is over and then profit? :D

Indeed.

But I would make a post about your issues in this thread and then they will, or so I think, make you a trusted user as soon as they see the post.
