Hi all,
I have some problems using the forum: I cannot answer in some posts giving me back this error.
I tried to contact the e-mail address but my message returned back with error.
So, I have no other way to hope this post will reach the sysadmin.
Thank you, R.

Known problem, lots of posts about it.
I prepare post, cut post, then hit reply, paste post and submit quickly.

Most browsers keep the text, if you just press back.

It does not work either. Thank you, R.

I continue to have the problem on replying to these posts (I cannot reply at these post):

Moreover, I cannot send personal message trough the forum. Thank you, R.

Known problem, lots of posts about it, its not going to get fixed.

I noticed that there are some words that if inserted in the text of the message make it impossible to post it, when I find them often inserting an underscore at its edges all works, but if I make too many mistakes the entire forum server crashes, so I stopped making these attempts.

Hi vinnie
... but if I make too many mistakes the entire forum server crashes ...
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.

ok, it happened to me twice, I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I couldn't even see the forum, it just seemed like the server crashed.

Hi vinnie
I couldn't see the forum either. Not even from another machine as a guest. Checking isitdownrightnow.com showed
that forum.tinycorelinux.net was up.
-
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:
Rich, you're being paranoid, overly dramatic, or just plain crazy!
Fair enough. Then riddle me this, why can I post this here without a problem:
sudo -u `cat /etc/sysconfig/tcuser`
Yet I had to alter the word cat in this post to get rid of the Forum Error message:

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.

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..
