I should add that I work with a great variety of text editors and web design programs. This problem is unlike anything I've ever seen:
so: around the time of the forum migration I composed a thread called "Tell us about your aliens" which began with an introductory paragraph, enclosed below as a screen-shotted image.
(http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=7655.0;attach=1492)
I cannot post the text contained in that image...anywhere on the forum. Here's the creepy part: I can't post a TYPED OUT TRANSCRIPTION of that text, so it's not formatting. The forum is disagreeing with some of the words (IE "Sci-fi" or similar) but I can't figure out which ones.
-
yeah, dunno what's going on at all.
-
How does this error show itself? Is it like the errors which have recently been described in the "Hosting plan change" thread on top of the forum, so a 403+404 error?
-
yes we appear to have exactly the same problem
-
I like sci-fi well enough, but I'm perpetually disappointed by the lack of imagination that goes into a lot of sci-fi aliens.
-
Even when they reach beyond
-
like humans but with weird bits of silicon on their heads
-
"stuff in quotes"
-
"like"
-
"humans but with weird bits of silicon on their heads"
-
"like"
-
Like in quotes Creates problems. Try That word in quotes with either a space after the e or any words after it.
-
"like " This is fine though.

Here's the modified version of your post:
I like sci-fi well enough, but I'm perpetually disappointed by the lack of imagination that goes into a lot of sci-fi aliens. Even when they go beyond "like humans but with weird bits of silicon on their heads" it's invariably something like "kangaroos, I guess, but with wings"
-
"alike "
-
Like in quotes Creates problems. Try That word in quotes with either a space after the e or any words after it.
"Don't say that word"
....
"How can we not say the word if you don't tell us what it is"
"Aaaaaah"

I removed a couple of unused mods. Have to see if that has any effect.
-
"like " Still giving the same error, from what I gathered on google it's some kind of security setting from your webhost which SMF forums doesn't like.
-
"like"
-
put a space after like :p
-
It's an SQL thing. = and like are SQL operators and something makes the software think that it's performing a select query instead of an insert/update.

I thought so but have no idea what a select query or an insert update is, I just know that like and from are codey things :p

Can't believe I didn't think of that before.

That knowledge alone puts you in the top 10% of Java programmers world-wide!

Well I suppose it helps that I read a book about javascript and spent about 2 hours attempting a webpage. Oh and a few hours on whatever scripting language MIRC uses. I also know java isn't javascript which is probably news to half the internet.....

Sorry, unemployable, too overqualified
;D

The host gave me a snippet to override the behavior, but that didn't work. Now they will put me in a white list so hopefully that will work. If not, I'll put in cuss word replacements for like, =, and where so the issue will seem to disappear
-
Thanks for the tip with the cursive, because that really helped me out today, so I didn't have to rewrite 4 paragraphs. I also have new information gathered by this, that finally shows some structure in the errors: All the paragraphs that caused a problem today always started with "Then", and the next word in line would here cause the issue and need to be cursiv(-ied?). Maybe "Then" means something special in SQL that causes this, but anyway, it can be avoided.
-
I've also seen it when I include one of the verboten words as the only content in the post.
-
Good news is the host has been able to replicate the error. Bad new is they need to escalate it to their engineers.
-
"Like "
-
It seems as if the issue has been resolved. Please let me know if anyone still has issues.
-
Hooray!
-
I'm finding that I can't post in certain threads again. Is this a known issue? Sorry, I've been out of it for a while
-
Are they in the Off Topic/Off Topic forum?
-
yep
-
Try now. You too Boggo

It's fixed it for me!

Just posted new campaign update without any problems at all. Thanks for sorting it out.
