Forum Bug Reports and Feature Requests

@Myrthos

I was just trying to send a PM, but whenever I click preview or submit, I get this screen. Tried a few times.

You could PM me before, so what is different?
Using a different PC? Browser?

I had no problem PMing you before, and it's the same machine and browser I was using then. Only thing I can think of my end is that my VPN IP would have changed, and it's possible to get an abused IP that's been blacklisted by security systems. Odd that it would only affect sending a PM, but I'll trying changing addresses, and then another browser.

@Myrthos

Very curious. It was neither of those things. I wondered if it might be related to the character issue, so I went through removing one paragraph at a time, and then clicking preview. Turned out to be one line, unless removed, causes the error.

Seems to have sent fine now.

Let me guess, what was in that line? . . .

I think that's perfect for a family member who's a data analyst

I think that might be a modsecurity issue. We have a different, more strict, configuration now.
Can you send me the text that caused the issue? Probably not by PM, as it wouldn’t work, but by mail.

Can't post/answer beyond certain length (or with quotes?), it seems. Get msg like ripper.

Also RSS is broken.

I would need to know what the message is that is given the problem.
RSS is fixed

The message is the same one that ripper has posted above, basically a fancy 403.

Just a small feature idea (no clue how hard it would be to implement).

I really like the "News Watch" and "Forum Watch" feature on the front page. It really helps to know what's going on, what people are talking about. I just think it would be useful to add the date/time of the posts there. So we know it's not something We've already read. It seems especially useful to me for those thread where the same person comments a lot.

Please allow us the option of deactivating alerts for mentions and quotes. Yeah it's trivial but there are members who quote and mention me I have no desire to reply to.
