Problem using the forum

<< < (3/3)

PDP-8:
Hm.. wondering if it is browser triggered?  Got the server error for the first time.

I just installed Opera-12 on TinyCorePure64 (thanks to op pek tip), which is pretty ancient.  Maybe there's something there.  If this fails, I'll switch to another device.

Update: it works so looks like not Opera triggered the confusion.  This is just a reply and modify.  Will try on a new post later.

Hi PDP-8
It seems to be caused by certain words at certain times. There also seems to be a certain amount of randomness to
it, like when you use an uninitialized variable in a program. Or when using an overly complex algorithm that employs
some form of AI (Artificial Ignorance).

Some may read the above paragraph and say:

Fair enough. Then riddle me this, why can I post this here without a problem:

--- Code: ---sudo -u `cat /etc/sysconfig/tcuser`
--- End code ---

Yet I had to alter the word  cat  in this post to get rid of the Forum Error message:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,25208.msg160942.html#msg160942

PDP-8:
Yeah, I figured as much, so you aren't being paranoid and I know what set of words triggered it here.

Had this been a forum for pottery makers, the subject and some technical details I used would definitely be suspect!

No problem.  Big thanks to whomever is hosting this.

If you trigger the forum error too many times in too short a time period, the forum will lock you out for an hour or two.
It's happened to me a couple of times.

good to know - I locked out my home IP and am replying via my cell's hotspot - I was worried I was banned trying too many times to succeed in posting..
