    I think we are going to have issues with formulae containing the forward slash, as Sucuri sees it as part of a URL - I am reporting this to the tech team now.

    Re: weird firewall error when I tried to post a formula

    It seems to be the word REPLACE when used as a part of a formula - I have passed this on to the tech team.

    If you place spaces around REPLACE in the formula, the formula can be posted.

    It's not just the slash. Maybe

    Re: weird firewall error when I tried to post a formula

    The tech team is on it - there is a whole bunch of reserved words that are going to cause this issue until they are able to fix it (we've had the problem before, a couple of years back). It's going to cause a lot of frustration, so we hope they'll get on top of it soon.
