Forbidden Error

[Kerashi]

I am encountering a forbidden error when making a post on my forum.  The post in question is long and includes a lot of URL's, and each time I attempt to post I get a Forbidden error.  I have created a phpinfo.php file to see if mod_security was enabled (as I have read that it can cause the problem) but there is no mod_security listed.  What else could be causing this problem?

You could be exeeding the maximum post character count or amount of URLs allowed in a post. You can change both of these in Admin to see.

first - welcome to SMF

second - whether or not it's listed in phpinfo,  the problem is that your host has mod_security installed and has it poorly configured. You will have to talk to them about removing it, or getting it configured better.

night - that would not result in a forbidden error

Thanks for the quick reply, I thought it would show up in phpinfo.  I have submitted a ticket to my host, will see if they can resolve it.
