The bots.... and bots and bots and bots

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I'm disabling the rules until I get some reasonable amount of time to work on it. Anything should fly for now.

Re-enabled rules -- thanks to your test, I was able to to do before and after and now that post is allowed. Security engine thought it was an attack on PHP due to not understanding bbcode and some parenthesis.

It's happened again. BRD won't let me search for 'hugger' or 'tree hugger'.

Your corporate sponsor made you do that?

:?: It's only the main Search box. The General Discussion Forum Search box works normally.

Then, when I try to post to the Tree Hugger Thread I'm "Forbidden" again.

I think I fixed the search before I went to bed last night.

I can post to that thread, so I'm wonder if it's a case of the content of the post.

The main Search box is fixed for "hugger" now. Thanks.

No content. When I try to quote a post or use the general "Reply" feature in the Tree Hugger Thread I'm instantly "Forbidden" still. :x Is it my Safari that's glitching?
