    Thank you for your comment.

    This happens for too often if I post pictures from Photobucket. I regret that I am now becoming a lurker rather than an active poster. Sometimes, a lot of time and effort goes into preparing a post.

    Sorry to hear this, your posts will be dearly missed :-(

    Hopefully an update to the Forum software can cope with the status of a regular, respected poster so these posts won't get blocked.

    Kind regards,

    Clemens

    Ralph, I have had that same comment at times. My understanding from MF is that it is not personal or intentional - it is an automatic message triggered by some sort of spam filter or other security program. An email to MF can get your post properly reinstated and he is usually very prompt about it, his travels and work schedule permitting.

    hey ralph, sorry to hear about this. it happens to me sometimes as well... i now write up a post first in microsoft word just in case it's automatically rejected by the forum filters. if it doesn't go through at first, it does generally go through a bit later.

    regards,
    thang

    IWC is pressuring the IT provider to implement a whitelist function shortly, to avoid this problem. Sorry it's taken so long --hang in there.

    If you get that annoying message, e-mail me and I'll get your post published.

    Ralph, trust that that is only a "figure of speach"' so to speak and that you really will continue to share your regular and always intersting posts with us.

    Ive had that automated spam filter block me from time to time too - it's darn right annoying!

    Quite a pity, it seems to be random? I use Photobucket for quite some years now, never encountered your dreaded message from the forum. Mostly one or two pictures per post, is there maybe a problem with volume?

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    Please don't. Your interventions in this froum are always welcome. Please continue in spite of the frustrations. This has happened to me as well and I do not even flinch. This is the Wonderful New World we live in.

    I don't have these problems as the Photobucket website has frozen up on me, and I have no idea how to fix it.
