Title: Just out of curiosity
Post by: Angelus on May 31, 2010, 04:30:35 pm

I get this errormessage:

Method Not Implemented

POST to /forums/index.php not supported.


when trying to post in this thread:

http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=69702.0

and i wonder why, as all other topics don't seem to be affected for me and other members can post ( Battuta tried it for me, as i wanted to see if it affects other members too).



EDIT:  Ok, that's weird. I can post single words, but not a longer text.
          Is it possible that a certain combination of words, is not allowed to post?

EDIT2: The following line seems to be the issue in the topic ( or other topics ), as i can't post anything if that line is part of the post( without the Hyphens).

                  ...(-o-n-l-y-d-o-w-n-l-o-a-d-e-d-s-t-u-f-f-f-o-r-w-h-i-c-h-y-o-u-d-o-n't-h-a-v-e-a-C-D-/-D-V-D-)...

Anti-piracy shenanigans?

Maybe, but it's not about piracy at all and i wasn't aware of a word filter here on HLP.
Hm, maybe something that was added recently.

I just recently had this same error when trying to edit a post. I hadn't read this at the time so thought it might be some new time limit on edits or something, but then it went and fixed itself after a while. So in all likelyhood it's just SMF being cranky.

What?

Torrents?
Warez?

What exactly is "unpostable"? (by that I mean what is the exact line that you can't post?)

It's the line you guys quoted, that i can't post.

It wasn't about pirated stuff, it was about software like Lightwave and similar, which you can download, and with a key "upgrade" to full version after you buy it. I tried to suggest to Freespacefreak, if he wants to format his HD and has such software, to make sure he has the license/ activation keys, written down before he starts doing that.
