Hello all nice to be here

[robin4648]

Hi - I'm new here though I have found many useful bits of advice in previous threads. I'm a keen (hopefully competent) DIYer and will generally give most jobs a go unless there's a safety consideration. I do like to get it right first time so prefer to research first, then act (or decide it's beyond me and get a professional in) so this forum is gold dust.

Hello and welcome

Thanks for the welcome ShaunCorbs.

I'm trying to post a question in the DIY Plumbing Advice forum. I don't think it's anything contentious - it's about a valve - but I get this error.

"Oops! We ran into some problems.

I'm baffled. I've tried rephrasing my question in a number of ways but to no avail. Is there something that I need to do as a new member before I'm allowed to post there (e.g. minimum post count)?

In fact, let me see if I can post the question here first as a test - not ideal but I can't think of another way to find out what the offending text is. Second part of the question (first part didn't work):

I need to replace a seized stopcock on a 25mm blue MDPE supply pipe to 22mm copper internal pipework and my preference would be for a full bore lever valve that's a direct fit to both pipes (less prone to seizing I hope).

OK now we're getting somewhere. Final part:

If such a thing doesn't exist, then I'll use a converter on one of the pipes but I want to consult with those better informed than myself first.

 

[robin4648]

Right, so it's my first sentence, let's try:

I would like to fit a 25x22mm compression fit full bore lever valve.

Bingo, so the filter does not like one of the following words: inlet, o u t l e t, quarter turn.

o u t l e t is the culprit - seems an odd word to be disallowed

 

[ShaunCorbs]

will have a look at that guess it’s a naughty word

Same problem with a reply form me, which had nothing spam-like or inappropriate!
