since they still haven't taken care of the posting problem....here's a good explanation of what's going on and how to avoid the "session has timed out" screen or whatever.

thought you guys might appreciate this

the virus thing on cbrf is a long story... stupid f**king hackers.

*edit: f**k it, photobucket's taking too long

Many of you might have noticed that there are a few issues making posts. The problem is that some shoddy programming was applied that passes on our text incorrectly to the SQL Server backend.

Until it is fixed, the only way to allow you to make posts, is to avoid words that are reserved by SQL queries. Of course this is impossible for those not familiar with the language...so see the links below.

S elect
F rom
W here
W ith

This is cumbersome, but as you see, I added additional spacing to prevent the words from causing a problem.

You can try lookup other words here: http://developer.mimer.com/validator...rved-words.tml
or test them here: http://www.petefreitag.com/tools/sql...words_checker/

another alternative would be utilizing a "highlighter" programming that highlights SQLs reserved words, when editing posts. "ConText" is one such program. Keep in mind, apostrophes will throw things off too. http://www.contexteditor.org/

Guess this is a gud reeson to mispell words. Go ahead and try making posts wit those words lists above. You can't do it.

hey, I didn't say it was perfect, but it's about the best explanation for what's going on that I've heard so far
