@ Giorgio:

In addition to solving the OP issue, props for a nice job on the spam filter, as shown by above post by unregistered user using recaptcha etc.

Thank you so much, all of you!! I really appreciate your help :D You guys have a great support team and response time here! :D

Just curious: Was the false positive mentioned in reference to the XSS notice on Yahoo Mail or in reference to XSS comments tripping the spam filter on the forum?

Please note:

I'm looking for work-arounds, thanks.
"Gecko" is Mozilla's name for the internal rendering engine (software) that powers the Firefox (and SeaMonkey) web browsers, so changes in the browsers would have no effect on how Giorgio chooses to configure the spam filter for his web site. The Yahoo XSS messages were the false positives referred to, caused by this change in the Fx/SM internals from Version 18 onward (past two months or so).

And on behalf of all of us, thank you for the kind words.
