I'm commandeering this thread to test an URL which failed the Phorum Phamily Philter, so that I had to leave it out of the yellow lines thread http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1308806,1309072. I'll try selectively chopping bits off until it gets through, and then see how useful what's left is.

Now, can anyone suggest what it is in the string shown in Result.gif that causes the problem?

Now testing exclusion of sub-segments of that URL.


&location-local-authority-1=The%20London%20Borough%20of%20Fouthwark


It appears to be the three-character string 2 0 S [without intervening spaces] that the Phorum filter is rejecting.


Remedy: replace the %20 (the standard encoding in URLs of the Ascii Hex code for space), at least in those locations where the next character is an S, with an HTML code for space - ie an & immediately followed by #32; or nbsp; [end of sentence]


Et voilà: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/all-notices/notice?start-publish-date=2014-01-01&location-local-authority-1=The%20London%20Borough%20of Southwark&categorycode=G411000001&location-distance-1=1&noticetypes=1501&numberOfLocationSearches=1&results-page-size=10


Alternative remedy: amend the filter list.

    • True but I doubt nobody around lordship lane has a phone. The value that the phone box provides is severely outweighed by modern circumstances and its painfully ugly look. Having to use that phone in an emergency is an emergency in itself.
    • Yes, except round here is started in early September, through October, in all that means fireworks season is now 5 months of the year.  Again, what is the attraction in startling random bangs. Why do people think this is okay?
    • You've gone a bit Alan Patridge again.... Why on earth would I need to eat humble pie, I really can't fathom what your point is?
    • Ahh, the traditional smell of the BT air fresher, hint of urine, used to stop people spending hours in the phone box and queues forming.  Although it is disgusting that people feel its their rights to treat a utility as their own personal litter bin and urinal. 😔
