Help with Forum :)
« on: January 25, 2015, 11:54:00 AM »
I'm trying to post updates for my latest campaign. However, if I try to make a long post, or several shorter posts in the same thread that have the same total length, I get this error:

Forbidden

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

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Anyone have any ideas? I guess I could post shorter updates but I assume anyone trying to reply might have the same problem. I know Erik is away at the moment so just wondering if anyone else is familiar with this problem

Also, could someone ping me the details of the FTP server so I can upload screenshots :)

We already discussed that problem here

Analysis has already done on it.

So I have determined that attempting to post "like " will generate the 403 error, removing the space after like but leaving it in quotes will still generate the error if any text is after the ". Putting the text into a spoiler tag or making it italic or whatever stops this happening, unless you also put the quotes into the same tag.  
Google tells me that this error comes from SMF forums security settings, other people have had a problem with HTML links,http://forum.arvixe.com/smf/general/403-forbidden-error-on-form-submits-due-to-mod_security/ but then I found this:  http://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=1012.0  where adding a single apostrophe causes that error when creating a thread, and also making posts vanish.....  

TLDR: SMF forums is buggy, try stripping out quotes from your posts.
Also, "Well aside from" doesn't work without putting from into quotes, which is weird because from works well enough.

Thanks for help all - and thanks to Erik for sorting out another issue that was preventing me uploading pictures.

I've posted part 2 of the new campaign. A few problems but I've worked around them by using multiple posts. Definitely better than when I posted part 1 though.
