I modified my .htaccess file as indicated in the linked thread and the problem persists. What should I try next?

IchBin™:
Contact your host. It could be that your host is not allowing .htaccess files to disable it.

MrPhil:
I saw one post that said if you haven't successfully turned off mod_security, the string mod_security will be found in the phpinfo() output. Is that statement still true?

Assuming you have successfully turned off mod_security, you mention 3 [url] tags being the limit per post. I'm wondering if that's some sort of anti-spam filter by your host? Is it just the grand total of URL tags being more than 3, or do they have to be in some pattern? I would guess that it's not the URL tag itself, but the presence of http: that's being totaled up. Have you asked your host about this? A filter of this sort would usually be in mod_security, but it's possible your host has put it somewhere else, or is even denying that they have such a filter! SMF automatically promotes www.domain.TLD to a URL link -- would that be sufficient for your purposes, to get around the filter? If not, and your host is not helpful, you'll have to start thinking about moving to another host.

Arantor:
Considering how many http instances there are in a typical page, I'd be willing to bet it's a problem with the links themselves, e.g. a link containing ?id= or &id= which is a typical mod_security rule.
