Forbidden Error w/More Than 3 URL Tags

(1/4) > >>

stevemci:
Whenever anybody on our forum tries to post a message that contains more than three url tags they get an error that says Forbidden, you don't have permission to access index.php. We're running SMF 2.0.2 with only two mods: Enhanced Dropdown and Simple Audio Video Embedder. Three or fewer url tags work fine.

MrPhil:
Is mod security turned off? Sometimes that can forbid access.

stevemci:
Where in the admin panel would I check the mod security setting?

stevemci:
In Security And Moderation --> General --> Disable administration security is unchecked.

MrPhil:
Uh, no. Mod security is a "feechur" your host would have turned on to look for certain words and characteristics that might indicate someone trying to hack your forum. It's unnecessary with SMF and usually causes more problems than it's worth. Usually you can disable it in your .htaccess file (search for mod security for instructions).
