I've figured out why you can't insert uploaded images into posts any more. They show in preview correctly, but once you hit submit, you site filters the html and essentially shoots itself in the foot.

notice the filtered t-i-t in content item.

I could go on. The point is that automated filtering causes more havoc than problems it solves.

I have no idea why, but excremen***ious just sounds like a bad word.... sorry I got side tracked.

The ***le reflects the effect, rather than the cause, and does not include my personal opinions.

oh! here's a good one.... uncons***utional, but don't go getting compe***ive on me.

Shades of Carlin's 7 dirty words.

It's obviously too mindless a filter at this point. It can't be allowed to muck with the format tags and link strings, or  the house of cards will come tumbling down.

I can't help but think of a song that goes a little something like

"The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire"

I'd post the lyrics or a video, but they contain bad language.

Thanks everyone for your patience on this. If anyone sees problems caused by the filter in the future, make sure to let us know as soon as you can so we can address it.
