- What happened?
The post or thread preview feature does not appear to apply the word/profanity filter. - Are you able to reproduce this problem consistently?
Yes. - What steps did you take to reproduce this problem?
1. Start a new thread or write to post a reply
2. Ensure to include words that will DEFINITELY be filtered (just as a test).
3. Click "Preview"
4. Observe your words in all of their unfiltered glory!
Yes I know you might be saying "well why are you posting profanity anyway!" - well, this is a problem because what if users (and I know some that do, myself included) use the preview feature (on other forums too) to ensure that they didn't include profanity without knowing. This is also important where the user may not know if a certain word might be censored and thus previews their writing before officially posting it. - What action did you expect to occur when this bug appeared?
For words to be filtered. - Any additional information that will help us diagnose the issue:
n/a - Browser, active browser addons, and operating system:
n/a - URL where the issue occurs:
n/a
I like to think of the preview feature as a systems emulator. If you are able to tell the difference between the emulator and the real thing, the emulator has failed.
