This may look like a glitch as I wanted to start a new thread and wrote just technical stuff (about browsing, Safari etc.) in the message box. I can't figure out what it disliked, however, it's strange. Tried to sign out and sign it, no difference, the alert still pops up. What is it?


All the best,


I.S.

There is a Filter - not the same as the "& words you can't say on TV (and more)" Filter, you've seen 'em " That giant s***ing sound ", etc. - that triggers you Alert/Error message. It not only has 'Terms' it doesn't like, but ' PHRASES ' it censors.


I wrote a long post once and got nailed, so I ...

  • copied
  • started over
  • pasted
  • trimmed various paragraphs until I found the offender paragraph
  • trimmed until I found the offender itself


It turned out to be a phrase, so I will illustrate how it doesn't and does offend - easier!


I like to live my life lolling by the stream, fishing.


Many could not watch the " L I V E Stream " on the AppleWatch Launch Event - it doesn't like the phrase, don't ask me why (unless it was an embarrassment)

As these Filter Lists are closely held, there is no way to deduce what is offensive and what is permitted. Frustrating.


The Filter is clearly very literal in its application if I could defeat it so simply.


best luck

You're welcome.


As an old hand at scripting (Macromedia Director Lingo), "Comments" are your greatest friend


-- Mac property ancestor,master,programPath,bogusWindows -- ancestor: script containing methods common to all 3 platforms -- bogusWindows: names of "windows" such as the Clipboard that should never be made visible -- programPath: full path to Acrobat on new me,ser set ancestor = new(script "Acrobat manager generic","Mac") set master = 0 if ser <> "demo" then register(xtra "MasterApp", ser) end if set programPath = mappLocateExecutable(the pathToKnownDoc of me) if offset("Error",programPath) = 1 then handleError(me,"mappLocateExecutable",programPath) end if set bogusWindows = ["Yak yak yak","Clipboard"] return me end on cleanUp me quitAcro me end on printCommand me -- launches Acrobat with /p argument to print the doc -- set error = mappPrintDocument(the pdfPath of me & the currentFile of me) if error < 0 then handleError(me,"mappPrintDocument",error) end if end


- plain language explanation that you are inserting 'spaces' or some other delimiter in what immediately follows and how to put it right would suffice, methinks

WOW!! Did THAT not post WYSIWYG!

-- Mac


property ancestor,master,programPath,bogusWindows


-- ancestor: script containing methods common to all 3 platforms

-- bogusWindows: names of "windows" such as the Clipboard that should never be made visible

-- programPath: full path to Acrobat


on new me,ser

set ancestor = new(script "Acrobat manager generic","Mac")

set master = 0

if ser <> "demo" then

register(xtra "MasterApp", ser)

end if

set programPath = mappLocateExecutable(the pathToKnownDoc of me)

if offset("Error",programPath) = 1 then

handleError(me,"mappLocateExecutable",programPath)

end if

set bogusWindows = ["Yak yak yak","Clipboard"]

return me

end


on cleanUp me

quitAcro me

end


on printCommand me

-- launches Acrobat with /p argument to print the doc

--

set error = mappPrintDocument(the pdfPath of me & the currentFile of me)

if error < 0 then

handleError(me,"mappPrintDocument",error)

end if

end
