Hi!
I have a weird problem i'm trying to censor the word <iframe but when i save the changes i get a Forbidden error

QuoteForbidden
You don't have permission to access /smf/index.php on this server.

The permissions are at 755

What's wrong?
Thanks!  :)

A hunch... Some hosts use something called "mod_security", which kinda censors words, anyway. As you're kinda deliberately using such words, mod_sec might be screwing you.

Have a natter with your host. It'd be wise to get it disabled, totally, coz it's crap, unless configured extremely well.

Or, have I misunderstood and the iframe thing is the only think going mental?

Got answer from the hosting, <iframes are censored.  :(

Why are you trying to censor iframes yourself? SMF won't let people make iframes themselves... are you trying to do something funky with video embedding?
