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.

    • It’s full-on consumerism season now until, well, Easter probably.  
    • Well thanks for enriching the conversation.  Would you chuck Fah - rage in too for his tax avoidance on his property?   I expect it was lead story on Jeremy Vine too.  Doesn't make it a story, just a bit more of BBC tabloid style sensationalism.  There are numerous real news stories in the UK and across the world.  And now, apt for Halloween, you have summoned up the ghost of Louisa. So for the third time, will you now eat humble pie?
    • It's firework season now up until early Jan 2026. Starting with celebrating the failure of terrorist Guy Fawkes on November 5th! BOOM!
    • Get used to it! 'major incidents' are a regular occurrence these days! some ignored by mainstream media.
