403 Forbidden Error for certain POST requests

[adm.net]

Hi everyone,

When I try to do anything that requires a post request with the request body containing something that starts with "<script="" it gives me a 403 Forbidden Error.

For eg. if I have <script="  as a topic heading it takes me to a 403 error.

This is not a huge deal if it wasn't for the fact that I'm unable to do some admin stuff like add Google Analytics code to my forum 😞 Please help me diagnose this issue guys and gals.

Thank you

I investigated and found a solution.

For anyone interested, add this to your .htaccess file :

SecFilterEngine Off

SecFilterScanPOST Off

Yes, that would be mod_security.
