Having problems putting up a post.

I've checked it for the lynx error, but I don't think that's it.

Edit: just tried to post it in this thread and got bounced out:

What error screen did you get? When was it?

Just now and I edit ninja'd you.

Edit: Tried to put a place holder post in and then edit, got this 403:

Ctrl+F found no no lynx's but the error's very similar.

That's not the only word that'll set it off. Lynx, that is. It's only the most common, if I remember correctly. Don't know what the others are though.

[The_JJ]

Hmm... the lynx issue is a programmy thing right?

It's a PbP IC post... some programmy-esque syntax. A memo meant to be impersonal. Maybe I'll fiddle with that.

Edit: HA! Victory! Inserting k"][/COLOR] into TO: RE: and/or FR: solved the problem.

From my testing, it appears that only TO: from those three is a problem.

From my testing, it appears that only TO: from those three is a problem.

One thing to note is that a colon (':') followed by 2 spaces (" ") is reported to cause problems sometimes. One important thing to note is that a single space (' ') and a double space (" ") normally display as the same thing with most browsers. So, ya know, don't use multiple spaces and colons at the same time.

So, ya know, don't use multiple spaces and colons at the same time.

Or rather, don't use multiple spaces at all. You are using an acceptable typeface, not a typewriter font from the dark ages of typography. There is no sensible reason you should use multiple spaces.
