'Sorry, we do not permit the following HTML tag or attribute: eval'
What does the above mean ? I have written a comment without any tags of any kind.
Are these ( ) banned ?
No idea what eval followed by half a parenthisis means.
Very frustrating as quite along for me post
Please help !

Someone who remembers better than me will be along shortly but the simplified versions is:
The software that runs these boards is old, it has some vagaries that nobody found odd (all software had them a decade ago) and that this sometimes turns up these sorts of messages. You can tell they are not that common, if they were some kind grandee would have turned them into something even more opaque than ancient computer speak. A half translation is that somewhere in what you typed in was something the software mistakenly thought was a bit of web page coding.

Things that the parsing engine recognizes as script syntax gets punted hard. This can happen accidentally, generally when set modifiers such as ( ) are placed near programming reserved words.
Try using a different word, or different brackets.

If it is a web address for a link - you can use tinyurl to get round the problem.

Thank you all very much for this. Trying to understand.
After I made a copy for myself and then removed the brackets and added a low lying comma instead it then went through fine. I had been getting flummoxed, as it wouldnt let me quote directly to show the problem ! Boy was i getting flummoxed ! Afraid of losing what I'd managed to come up with.(my 'deep thought' as they have it) ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Much appreciated.

If you want to show exactly what you were trying to type without the software throwing a hissy fit, you can enclose it within code tags.

If you click on the little button marked 'code' you'll get two tags you can type between.
Edited to add: if you want to see how other people have done things, just click on the quote marks, as if you wanted to quote the post you're replying to.

Could someone change the thread title to reflect more clearly what the Overlords think of Query-ies?

Many thanks for this. I'll give it a go.

It often turns up with some odd combination of the word 'medieval' (hence the 'eval' bit) and brackets.

(having just tested it, it's when you open a bracket directly after a word such as 'medieval' with/without a space)
