Forum posts containing the string ‘data:’ cannot be submitted
-
First, is this project abandoned? Your web page seems to be completely non-functional.
On the off-chance that it isn’t, I wanted to check an issue reported by-one of our users, who found out that his browser froze whenever he tried to make a forum post. After a bit of trial and error I found that it was because it contained the following string.
“Big data: the end of the scientific method?”
Turns out that you can’t post to a Symposium Pro forum if the post contains the *word* ‘data’ followed by a colon (with an optional space in between). That is ‘data:’ or ‘data :’ in your post will cause the process to hang when you click ‘Submit’ (but e.g. ‘ddata:’ will not).
Repeatable across multiple browsers.
Any idea if and how this can be fixed?
Thanks
