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?

    @maman I've reported it this morning and had a message back to say it's been passed on to the relevant team.

    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.
