When I started my level building topic, I managed to post pictures of a level in progress without any issues. The pictures were in .jpg format and hosted on imgur.com. However, now that I try to make a second post inside that topic with new pictures of further progress (the pictures are still in .jpg format and hosted on imgur.com), my reply does not get posted and the forums give me the following error message: "WARNING! A post containing harmful content or spam has been detected. The website administration has been automatically alerted."

Since I managed to post pictures the first time without any issues, I assume this must be a bug with the forums, as imgur.com is not a malicious website and I've scanned the pictures on my hard drive with both avast! and Malwarebytes without any malware being found by either of them.

Have you tried uploading them as an attachment? You should be able to upload it using the forum attach feature. Using it means you probably wont be able to move your picture elsewhere, as it would be at the end if your post.

How exactly are you currently trying to post your pictures? You're using [/IMG] tags, right?

Final thought could be that it's just your lack of posts, and the forum safety is just being paranoid. Since you have 10 posts, try posting again. 10 seems like a nice requirement for those type of things.

Just some ideas. :)

Thanks for the reply. As you suggested, now that I have 10 posts, I've tried to post my pictures again (and by the way, yes, I am using [/img] tags), but I ran into the exact same error. I know I could circumvent the problem by posting the pictures as attachments, however, they come out too small for my liking when I proceed to insert the attached pictures into my post. As I've mentioned before, the forum did not issue any kind of error when I first posted pictures about a week ago, so it is definitely strange that it is doing this now.

The same thing has been happening for me, and it's definitely not post count related-this is my 699th post. I'm assuming the forum is just doing this to relieve lag on the server.

Let me poke aayrl because it's not just images, but *any* link.

Hey folks,

Update 1: It appears one of our anti-spam modules is incorrectly flagging posts with imgur links as spam, hence the warning messages some of you have been experiencing. I am currently tweaking our anti-spam module to correct this issue.

Users that are affected:
- UltraRobot
- elnathan
- acpascal
- RC
- blueteak
- Sporlo
- avi

Update 2: If you are one of the affected users listed above, please check the threads you attempted to post in to see if your post has been restored.

Update 3: I have 're-trained' our anti-spam algorithm, so hopefully it will stop flagging imgur and other image hosting site urls inside of image tags as 'spam'. Please alert either myself or IsraeliRD again in this thread if you experience similar issues in the future.

Thanks,
~Aayrl
