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.

I am experiencing this bug.  403 Forbidden Error...

 

Could not submit a post without removing parentheses.

I believe a forum update is scheduled in the foreseeable future that will hopefully fix this bug along with a few other inconvenient items. 

 

One that I have also seen in the Follow dialog popdown showing up underneath embedded videos so you can't click the follow button. My work around is to Command click on the Follow button to open it in a different window.
