It’s because I finished setting up word censoring. I didn’t realize that it wasn’t completely set up until tonight.

Here’s how you can disable word censoring:

1. Click your screen name
2. Go to your user control panel
3. Click on Board Preferences
4. Click edit display options
5. Select “No” under “Enable Word Censoring”

I'm seeing some words censored on occasion and some not. I definitely have that feature turned off so I'm not sure what that's about.

You might want to check again. I don’t have very many words censored just a few.

I just checked before I posted that reply. It definitely is turned off. It's just some posters. Some people have curses and some have them censored. If they have theirs turned on will we all see them as censored?

If someone has word censoring turned on and they quote a person, it will look like asterisks. It shouldn’t do that though in a normal comment or post.

Thanks Skip. I was wondering what was going on.
