LET ME MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR

Mel, isnt there a way to sensor those words automatically? Several forums I frequent have filters that prevent certain words from posting.

mike says the word and i can filter every dirty word you can think of automatically at the forum level.

how does the "programming" of the forum know that a word is a dirty word? does it have a word bank?

yea it would basically do a find and replace as you are posting it so "badword" becomes *******

Thanks Mel, well said. I appreciate this forum and all the help here, and almost always a guy can even ask a dumb question and not get grilled.

That's because the only dumb question is the one not asked.

I cuss something fierce, but only under certain circumstances. The aforementioned thumb slamming, when I get fired up about something that makes my blood boil, or when I get excited about something. I am, no doubt, guilty of swearing on an open forum.....but I try to self-censor.
