Hi, I don't know if anyone else experienced this, but every few posts do not allow me to reply.

For example, on this thread: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/google-adsense-less-revenue.1061930/

No matter what I write there, even just "TEST", it will not allow me to reply.

Browser console does not display any errors. This happens basically every day on some random thread, so just raising the issue with you guys, maybe you can check the logs for errors.

Cheers.

Hey @bartosimpsonio,

Are you still experiencing this problem? I recall dealing with this issue before, but I forgot what was causing it. Anyway, if you haven't already done this, try clearing your cache, using a different browser, using a different device. At the very least, it'll tell us where to problem is at.

Thanks for your reply. It did happen the other day once more on the adsense forum again.

I thought some keyword I used triggered a spam filter. I deleted the entire message and re typed differently, still no cigar.

Then I deleted the entire message and just to test I typed something generic, knowing it wouldn't go through. It didn't.

Hasn't happened recently though, it does often happen in the adsense forum and another forum I forget, it's specific do some places.

Tried a new browser, used Brave browser with 100% clean profile, and no cigar. It's not the browser.

That is odd. I'm trying to remember exactly when I encountered the issue and what I did to fix it.

The spam filter rarely gets triggered for members with more than 15 posts. However, there is one spam filter that gets triggered whenever a users posts certain lines of code on the forum, but you'd see a Cloudflare box appear if that were the case.

Here's what I'll need you to do: draft your message that's not posting and then click the save draft button in the text editor. I'll log into your account and try posting it to see if the issue is on the forum's side.

Done. Saved in drafts.

Strange, the drafted text is not showing up in that Google Adwords thread when I'm in your account. It should, but it isn't/

Could you post the BBcode of the text you're trying to post in a PasteBin file? https://pastebin.com/

Strangely both the preview and the save drafts commands seem to be rejecting the text!!!

Here is the text:

Try JCI

For adwords you'll lose every account unless you get a proper cloaker.

I was able to post it from your account without any issues: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/google-adwords-gambling-in-thailand.1071581/#post-11565563

I'll keep looking into what could be causing it. So it's not the browser and I'll just say it's not the forum. How's your internet connection right now? I did just remember that whenever I'm on BHW on my phone, stuff like that has happened to me before.

BbHhWwVM · Nov 23, 2018

Open post you can't reply, press CTRL + F5, to clear cache, will be solved.

Thanks. It must be a combination of things then! IP + something on the browser maybe? it's not the forum, nor my username nor the text. We can eliminate those 3.

Great that you're looking into this, it has bugged me for a long time. Thanks Zie!

I just found something else:

I hit reply with the web console open and no network requests were ever made.

It's being blocked on the client side by some javascript.

BHW no longer allows us to disable javascript (text field disappears) so I can't test with JS disabled.

NOW I DO RECALL that I used to disable javascript and it worked!

It is some javascript!

Can BHW enable non-JS posting again?

I had the same problem and surprisingly it only happens when I post on an Adsense thread. Probably it triggers some spam filters. I was thinking that maybe I am banned from adsense threads but looks like I am not alone.

Strange because I tested another clean browser that does not have any plugins and it also blocked me.

It's something inside the BHW page, a javascript or something, because a network request is never made at all. It gets blocked in the client side.

Just press CTRL + F5, must solve it. Do it several times if need, wait for page to reload. I went over one of your links above (where you was not able to reply) and got the same issue.
This must work. Even if not working, it is not BHW related.

klique · Nov 24, 2018

When I visit the first thread you linked in your OP, I get the "Post Reply" and "More Options" buttons, but the "Upload a File" button is missing, and there is no textbox for me to input a reply. The second link loads as normal.

When I hit CTRL+F5 nothing happens. Firefox browser.

It was me you helped with this before if I recall correctly. I had a similar issue where I couldn't reply in certain threads

@bartosimpsonio it was down to my ad blocker. Are you using adblock or some script blocker?

davids355 · Nov 24, 2018

Looks like its on desktop and I assume you are using Chrome or similar? If so, try clearing cache as @Zwielicht suggested, and also try temporarily disabling all browser plugins. Then see if it will work.

Sorry for the late response!

So usually whenever it's an issue on BHW's end, it ends up affecting a lot more users. I haven't seen any support tickets about it and it looks like only a handful of users have experienced this before (myself included).

Did you ever try posting in that thread from another device (e.g., your phone)?

No, only from PC. Funny though it happens across different browsers, so it's not a particular extension that's causing it.

EDIT:

sturose may be right, I do use adblock and it would make sense for it to block stuff mentioning adsense and cloaking and stuff.

The other browser I tested I think also blocks ads by default, without an ad plugin (Brave browser).

Will try from a different PC later. I think it's gona work if I disable all ad blocking.
