Hi,

Your MBoard works fine, I was able to post a message. So the problem is that you did something to be blocked by the SPAM filter, reading this should help (it's written for GBook script, but it's the same for MBoard):
viewtopic.php?t=938

[teevguy]

Thanks. Your scripts are awesome!

Try clearing your browser cache (temporary internet files), close all browser windows and try again.

What browser are you using? Do you have cookies enabled?

[Henrie]

What was the message you were trying to post.

The message you got is the same as when you upset the junkmark spamfilter of MBoard.

You can use other words to not upset the spamfilter.

Or in settings.php file you can change

Code: Select all

/* Use JunkMark(tm) SPAM filter (recommended YES)? 1 = YES, 0 = NO */
$settings['junkmark_use']=1;

/* JunkMark(tm) score limit after which messages are marked as SPAM */
$settings['junkmark_limit']=60;

Chagne $settings['junkmark_use']=1; to $settings['junkmark_use']=0; to disable the spamfilter (not recommended)
Or change $settings['junkmark_limit']=60; to a higher value (70 or 80) to make the spamfilter less strict.

Greetings,
Henrie

[adimallikarjunareddy]

Dear Stirn,

I am using Firefox and the cookies are enabled. I cleared cache also.

Dear Henrie

I am posting "This is test post".
As per your suggestions i changed

$settings['junkmark_use']=1; to $settings['junkmark_use']=0;

Now it is working, but does it solves my problem, because spam filter is not working for me now right?


Regards
Adi

[Klemen]

Adi, are you behind a Proxy server?

Like Henrie suggested try enabling the filter again and set the score limit to 80, then see if you can post. Close all browser windows before you test.

Even with JunkMark off some spam protection is still active, but might not be as effective.

[clubamigos99]

Works fine here, so something is wrong on your side. Try this:

1. try posting a very simple message, with only "test" as name, subject and comments.

2. Create a new text file, name it "test.php", place this code inside:

Code: Select all

<?php
header("Content-type: text/plain");
print_r($_SERVER);
?>

Upload to the server, open in your browser and tell me what it says.

3. What is $settings['junkmark_limit'] set to in your settings file?

Hi Klemen

I,ve tryed raise to: $settings['junkmark_limit']=80;

Have a look at the PHP test file (lying in the Mboard sub)
Click:
http://www.southislandcruisers.dk/sic/mbforzz/test.php
As I see it - no server problemos.
- -

1)
Then i try as you suggest:
Making a 1new contri. - with 2sub threads = no problem.

2)
But a answer to an existing (both 1level and 2-3sub level entries)
is impossible = You not allowed etc...

3)
And now when I have got the = You are not allowed ...
then attempt to answer all threads _BEFORE_ the new test from today
goes wrong, - but making the nr4 test answer to the same was okay.
VERY VERY STRANGE.

4)
Klemen - please try some sub answer test on the contribution = Forsikring (assurance)
it was from that guys contribution (and when I should answer all goes in fish)
And if you wanna see the file inside, its the msg#49
