View Full Version : Baffled - Round 2 - Blank Pages With Certain Keywords (cookie for anyone who solves)

I posted a thread in these forums about newreply.php and editpost.php returning blank pages when a user (even admin) attempts to post a "long" post. I have done further research, and it looks like certain keywords are causing the blank pages. Post length and other attributes appear to be a non-factor. Newthread.php is also affected.

More specifically, the keywords "gold making", "gold-making" and "gold farmers" (singular is fine) are causing blank pages. These are the ones I have identified so far. It seems that no matter where these keywords are inserted within a post, a blank page is returned when saving an edited post, hitting "go advanced", or previewing a post.

Initially I thought that perhaps a spam filter was causing this, but nope, I can discuss certain male medications without issue. Perhaps these keywords are too common in the search database and the server times out when trying to search for them.

This is really the strangest bug I have ever seen.

Any idea?

I answered your other post. No need to start a new thread about it. You are running PCRE 8.21 which has a bug in it. You need to go back to PCRE 8.20.
