I just wanted to create a new topic on Geekzone's Telecom forum, along with some jpg pictures.

Once I typed my text and attached / dragged the pictures in, click post new topic, all I get is:

---

Error: Your post was not accepted due to bad word: f***
Error: Your post was not accepted due to bad word: s***

---

But I did not write those words! Why I am getting that message?

I am using Firefox 10.0.7ESR on windows 7 pro 64-bit.

Can anyone tell me what is the problem?

They must be there. Email me the text and the picture filename.

Presume that the words were embedded in the HTML if you drag and dropped. Perhaps in ALT tags of the image?

I have tested the text with a test account and it passed without bad words. It must be something in the format as suggested. Paste it again without format and it should go.
