ha - it turns out I don't have to change a thing just select "Edit" then "Preview" to get the above error. No changes were even attempted this 2nd time so looks like I can't edit it at all then.

Tho I was able to edit this post twice. Make that 3x.

"preview" and "submit" both submit the content to the same inspection process, so that's why you were seeing the response you did. The words "gambling" and "casino" are, apparently, considered spammy by our application firewall, in case you're curious about the details.

At any rate, we've made some more adjustments that should enable your post (and many like it) to go through unmolested in the future.

As always, thank you for taking the time to detail your issues so that we can get cpaptalk's new home tweaked and tuned.

Post-move, I've sent PM's that ended up in the Outbox rather than Sent Messages, even though the interface said they were being sent. Were they sent? (I've had no replies.)

They go to Outbox first (after you get the brief your message has been sent) they will stay in your Outbox until the receiver opens and reads them. Then they will reside in your Sent box. No replies and still in Outbox means they probably have not been seen by the receiver yet.

It has always been this way even before the server change.

The feature to reload a saved draft does not work. I started a reply, and decided to go back to the thread so I hit save. The next time I opened up a reply window the load button was available. I clicked on it and the message came up to select the desired draft, which was correctly listed. Clicking on the saved draft subject brings me back to the beginning of the thread. It does not open up the draft in a reply window.

Would some of you others please try this to verify the problem? Thanks.

This isn't a bug, but I'm not sure where to post this, since there doesn't seem to be any other thread available.

Is there a way to make it so blind people, or those who can't read or fill out captchas, could send PM's? I would very much like to access this ability, but the system asks for a confirmation code, and I cannot give it one since I can't read the words or letter in the box.

I would greatly appreciate help with this, and not necessarily by just not using it, or always contacting someone to do it for me, which is not always possible, or does not always feel comfortable.

Thanks.

Something else must be tripping you up because I don't get a confirmation code request when I submit a PM. Give us a run down of the steps you are going through so we can confirm your issue and maybe get it resolved easily.

IF you are not logged into your username you will get the captchas to post a message but you are not able to send a PM when not logged in. You MUST be logged in to send PM's and NO code is needed.

So I would ask that you check to see if you are logged into your username when trying to send a PM. Keep in mind I am just a member here like you.

When I first started posting here, I was asked for a confirmation code. It seemed like only after I'd been posting here awhile did it stop asking me for a confirmation code.

Well I stand corrected then. That might be a policy to reduce spam. I do know we used to be able to PM more than one member at a time too. I do wish that would change back even if only after a certain number of posts. I think if I was spamming, someone would know by now.

The captcha code is tied to either number of posts or PMs. I can't remember which, nor can I remember the required number of what it is tied to. I do remember having to do it though. I did try to find it a couple of months ago without success.

Edit: Unless it has changed since this announcement
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=42278&p=372074&hili ... ha#p372074
It is tied to the spam button. Spam button is 90 days.

Wonder if Carolyn could help Amy out with this one? I have trouble with any captcha anywhere and I have 2 good eyes.

I'm sure that I've logged in when I've tried to PM or reply to PM's. Hadn't thought of it being tied to the number of posts from a person, and it eventually not prompting for that.

I definitely would like help, since I can't reply to anyone currently.

Thanks to anyone who can.

Bedtime now...

When I go to edit my own posts, the option is no longer there. Jim

Problem resolved, THANKS Jim

Well, you're Goofproof, so you shouldn't need to edit anything.

There seem to be a lot of times when the server is not responding. At least once a day the icons don't show and I get some sort of error.

Howdy,

We've made changes to you account that should remove the captchas. Please give PMs a try with your new settings and let me know if this solves the problem.

Thanks for the bug report. Glad to have you on CPAPtalk.
