I've discovered that even something as simple as a pound sign can (apparently) cause it. Once removed, the post will ....errr...... post as normal. I have a theory that it's possible that any random alteration might do the trick: yesterday said pound sign was one of a number of possible offenders in the post - but I hit it at first attempt. Chance good luck or something else?

Chance I suspect, but it's testable. Deliberately make a post with 2 forbidden characters, and then edit it to remove only one and see what happens.peter wrote:Chance good luck or something else?
