Security error on posting to this forum?

[Andrew Entee]

Has anything changed on posting here? I'm getting the following error when I try to post using code tags. OK if I don't use code tags. Never had this problem on this forum before

I had the same issue recently - I can't remember the exact cause, but it was something to do with a specific bit of text within the code tags. When that text was removed, everything worked ok again. Sorry I can't remember what the text was...

Thanks. I know I didn't log out last time. I'll mark this as solved at this point. Thanks for the reply.

You are welcome:
For code, space trick is good.

Also can use Black Character trick:

To get

do this ( make some characters black )
