User Title censored words.

[Grover]

Hi,

A user on our forums has put in '/-\dministrator' as his User Title. Since this can be confusing for new members (who's the actual administrator?) I thought of putting the term 'dministrator' in the Censored Words of the User Title inside the ACP. But I still see his ''/-\dministrator' as his User Title on the forums. I rebuild the User Titles inside the ACP also.

I guess I am overlooking something here, but can't figure it out. Someone who can help me? Thanks!

Did you remove his user title manually after adding 'dministrator' to the censored list?

No I did not. I thought that when I setup the censored list, VB would place '******'-characters in the postbit when displaying a user title. This is not correct thinking of me?

I believe this is only checked when the user submits the title and it won't censor titles already entered.

Ahaaaa.... ok, so thàt was my problem! Thanks for explaining!

Hmmm... just testing further:

I replaced his '/-\dministrator' text into 'Senior Member' (typed that in manually)... and I didn't even rebuild the Custom Titles in the ACP... still the change was displayed immediately on the postbit.

So... I tried to put the text '/-\dministrator' back and see if this was censored now... but no luck. The text '/-\dministrator' is still being displayed. I have censored the word 'dministrator' so I thought I would end up with this :
'/-\************' in the postbit?

What am I doing wrong?

Which version are you running? Have you installed any hacks?

P.S. I just tested this out on my unhacked 2.3.4 forum and it worked fine.

Hi Steve,

I am running VB 2.3.4 and I did not install any hacks (never did). I will investigate further....
