that is private messages and not the pms that women get
I was trying to send a pm to someone and get an error message (http 406). Basically I can't send a private message. Any one else having problems like this? |

| I think you are on the no fly list. I sent a message to you no problems. |

| 406 tends to be browser-related. See if the problem occurs with another browser. And recall the problems we were having with "bad words".... see if this is dependent on the text of your message. |

Thanks rainbowfish Gary, I did get your message
I did try sending the pm through Firefox but it came up with a similar message. 404 I think instead of 406. It still didn't work tho.
I checked the message and it only has one swear word in it, (bloody idiot). But I'm sure I've said that before without any problems.
I did mention vaigra in the message, would that do it?
The only other thing is a web address for a forum I got booted off last week.
And I can just imagine what you lot are thinking now. What sort of private message includes the above
It was a doggy forum, honestly
Ok I think I worked it out. I just tried to post a response here and used the V-word. It didn't want to know. But when I changed it a bit I could post it.
Swap the first a & i around in vaigra. |

Yes, this is another bad word (blocked by the hosting site firewall).
I unblocked some of the words that we legitimately may need (recall that python and ambient used to be blocked too), but I have no problems with v-i-a-g-r-a remaining blocked... we don't need it too badly and having it blocked actually enhances security.
But here is a promise: if the proposed experiments with adding this substance to the tank indeed show improved amounts or quantity of eggs, I'll talk to the hosting people and have this word rehabilitated . |
