I'd have to dig up that Vandal game that first caused it to even see what I found.... but it seems it's much more complicated than that. When I posted my Tangredi game a few months ago, I had to insert periods as a break in five different places to get it to post. There are some letter and/or number combinations that trigger an ISE (even if separated by other letters), but I'm not sure what they all are. When I get that message, I use the preview function and start randomly inserting breaks (I think using a lone ending tag for bold or italics can do it) until it stops giving me the error. If it's a LONG post, I try breaking it into pieces and using Preview until I can isolate the offending part...

I remember trying to Google the issue when it first happened, but came up empty.

I guess this is the cause for my inability to post a complete response to a week or so ago. I don't remember the thread but I could find it, it it would help with the research.
