Does anyone else have verbiage issues when posting? (where are the naughty words)?

I am baffled.

For a couple weeks I have been attempting to post a slight variation on an announcement for a new item (a free "book";) -- /199/4b/338162/1.html

I would continuously receive the error "The requested URL /newthread.php was not found on this server." With others posting successfully I realized that the issue was my content and not the forum server.

After painstakingly adding to my post a segment at a time, previewing the post (for the error or not) each time, I arrived at the conclusion that the word "from" in the sentence "While entire Gothic ... and splendid." was very naughty indeed.

I replaced the word "from" with "of" and was finally able to post.

I returned to my accidental previous post (/199/96/338161/1.html#post2549825), added the word "from" randomly and the edit was saved. I then edited to add "pieces from various" and this was saved.

On and on until I discovered that when I included the range "...s e l e c t ... splendid.", it would not save either. (I cannot even write the word s e l e c t in this post)

Has anyone else experienced curious verbiage reactions from posting in the forums, or New Products section?

(And this post took me far longer to write than I ever imagined)

Thank you. I've not run into this until now. That is... utterly daft.

Thank you again.

/me walks away, scratching head.
