When trying to reply to a thread in 'Credit cards' tonight - I kept getting a message flash up reference a keyword blocker. When I posted a message of 'test test.' it went through ok. I can't see any naughty words there in my reply? What was I doing wrong?

    That looks more like an error in the keywordblocker php script. It can't handle something and is generating an error. It doesn't mean there is a keyword it doesn't like.

    ETA
    I see somebody else is having a similar issue on another thread

    Yes - I can't post the word c h e a p either! Although that word wasn't in my original post.There must be gremlins in the system somewhere.

    I looked at the other thread and the poster got around it by quoting something before trying to post the reply he wanted. Not ideal but a temporary fix while we wait for mse to sort it out. Anyone know how to report these things?

    If that continues you’ll have to rename yourself MovingBackwards. 

    Are you using the word c h e a p?

    The bad word in your attempted post was P H O N E, but you are allowed the word telephone.
