Curious. I'll be interested to learn what the IB tech folks say.

R8 R82 ....

It seems to be specifically R 8 2 3. Google doesn't explain what it supposedly means.

Perhaps tied to scammers who have been spamming the forums of late?

I've put it into the Mod Forum too, so hopefully one of the IB team pick it up.

I think the spammers have moved on from this sequence so have asked Internet Brands to remove the block on this sequence. Thanks for surfacing the issue, florens.

Test: Q823, 823, QR823.

It looks OK now.
