Dang! Someone's gone and put a rude word in thread1256-1280391 and our firewall won't let me read it! [cry]

Oh dear. I can't see anything particularly problematical. Can you give a hint so that CajunCenturian can perhaps 'moderate' the 'offending' language a little?

Hmmm. My last posting on it contained the word "0rgasm".
The Firewall didn't like it when I first spelt it with a capital O. I had to change it to that zero - so it might be that?

There have been loads of posts in thread1256-1280391 since yesterday, and I'm still blocked!

Can I bump this for CC to look at, please?

Hey Chris,
I'll do what I can, but I do have a couple of questions, trying to determine where in the thread the problem exists.

What is the last thing in the thread that you can see?

Hi CC, and thanks for your help [thumbsup]

Nothing, basically. The whole thread is blocked by Mimesweeper with the message "Block Questionable words or phrases".

Now when I made my last entry on the thread, I spelled that word with a letter "O" a the beginning, and when I previewed it, I wasn't allowed back to edit it again!!

So I re-drafted the message, substitutiing "O" with a zero, so it reads 0rgasm, which is allowed.

Unless someone has posted since then, using the 'correct' spelling, I'm unable to see where it's gone 'questionable'

Does this help?

I've removed the definitions that you posted. Does that work?

I was going through the posts after you in that thread, and the only thing I see that really wouldn't qualify as objectionable is the phrase "funky butt lovin'

Obviously not that then, 'cos I can read this one, even with 'butt' in it!

Butt0cks perhaps? I've used an 0 in the hope that you'll be able to read this, but the original is an o!!

Let's try again, but please make sure that you're not dealing with a cached page.

Ahhhh... Maybe you're right there Ken - can you change it, even though it's in my post (if I remember correctly, it was about my Geog. teacher)?

I've edited out "funky butt lovin", and changed the butt0cks.

Ok - I'm going to need a couple of hours, there are some things I need to do (real work), but then, if you're still around, we'll take some more drastic measures and figure out what it is.

Risking shoving my foot in my mouth (which I'm used to doing)...

MeGustaXL Under tools or edit there is usually an options or preferences option. Open that up and clear your cache. If you are using IE (I'm at work, its not my personal choice), it would be:

Tools -->
Internet Options -->
Delete Files --> (under the temporary internet heading in the middle of the page under the 'general' tab)

That should delete all the cached versions of the pages you've visited meaning that next time you go to a page it will have to load fresh instead of relying on stored copies of the page.

Of course I've probably just insulted you and mucked up the process that CC was talking about.

Thanks Lunatic (can I call you 'Loony'?)

None taken, my friend, 'cos I didn't know that!

Done it, flushed 'em, still blocked - Bugger!

Curiously, 'Bugger' isn't blocked [ponder]

Maybe it was e-j-a-c-u-l-a-t-e, which was mentioned in that posting.

No, 'cos it was OK in the one before, and in this one, where I put (apologies to my American friends, who I understand might be offended - please look away now) ejaculate
