Bug with inserting code into forum posts

[Jesse Cogswell]

There's some kind of bug when using the Insert Code button when making a post.  If that code contains C h r() in it (without the spaces), submitting the post will send you to a 403 Forbidden page, and when double-clicking the code block to edit it, you will get an error message.

Can confirm. Even doing a search on the forum goes to 403. 
 

But it wasn’t always so.

Hi all,

 

I've had this issue since 5/26 whenever the code contains C hr() (without the spaces), and even if you put the code that contains C hr() (without the spaces) in a text file it will error!

Any movement on this?  This has been a huge bummer for sharing scripts for users.  I have to either post the code directly with extra spaces inserted and instructions to remove them, or I have to encrypt the plug-in so that the combination of letters doesn't directly appear, which is less than helpful if someone wants to see the code behind the plug-in for modification / learning purposes.

@JuanP Any leads on why CH_R( without the underscore causes a 404 error on the Forum when trying to post?

I just had this issue with parens

I was not trying to insert code tags just using parenthesis in a sentence.

 

I kept getting the 403 Forbidden page.

Finally removed all the parens and the post went through fine.
