XF 2.2 Multiple Asterisks in a post

[NoahP]

When I post a story to my forum I specifically censor swear words by typing something like "You F*ING B**" with multiple asterisks. but it removes all but one. Ive checked my censor and spam settings and can not find out where this is being caused.

You might be using markdown language.

I have noticed something like that. It's important on a saxophone site because there are certain models of mouthpiece that might be denoted with asterisks,

e.g. there is a 4 star which is written: 4**** . If I just type that it is fine

But if I type ****ing 4**** it ends up as ing 4

But if I type ****ing 4**** ( with the actual f word) it shows the 4 asterisks for the naughty word, and only two asterisks after the 4, instead of four as it does in my first example here.

You can turn off markdown.

right. the other alternative i imagine would be to use [plain]text[/plain] bbcode. which for some reason is not part of the bbcode toolbar editor. but yeah, disabling markdown would be a simpler solution as not many people know it and use it.

I disabled markup and that did the trick.

Yeh but you can't do that on other peoples' sites

 

[beerForo]

OOPS I said markup, meant markdown.

Neither means anything to me!

OK,but as a user you don't have access to other peoples' ACP!

It's in XenForo. It turns markdown off.

I got a "solved" and a "-1" on the same post

Not me.

EDIT: I suppose it saves it for someone running a forum, but not for someone using a forum.

I've upvoted, so now you're on 0

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. If you are a user on a forum, (not an admin) can you turn it off so that you can then post the asterisks you want to?

 

[beerForo]

As admin you turn it off in your ACP, on a saxophone forum users are more than likely not typing markdown anyway and since it makes more sense to your users as asterisks, you can just turn it off.

 

[Mr Lucky]

As admin you turn it off in your ACP,

Yes, I'm aware of that.
