Test pleaseThank you for getting back to us and apologies for the delay. You can turn on ModSecurity - we have disabled the specific rules which triggered the 403 error.
Could you please give it another go?

I let updates soak for a week before installing to see if there are any issues reportedTrinity765 wrote: Tue Jan 21, 2025 8:20 pmI wonder when he's going to run his update.

I also prefer (new) Edge over Chrome, it works so much better with M365 integrated stuff.

Given it up so it's been deleted now, if you want 'yuk' you should see what's in the unnamed folder

Theres an incompatibility somewhere but I have no idea what or where, so I am afraid I have to agree with you.weeksy wrote: Wed Jan 29, 2025 1:33 pm Mmmmm bizarre. Not sure we have any other answers than disabling it again.

Well unless you've got me set to 'miserable user' status you'd best disable the search feature too

I think it's more likely the same issue as before as it wasn't turned off

As you'd not complained i completely forgot and no-one else seems to be getting it apart from you.
I've disabled it now.

Search is still killing it, this time the word 'ghost' causes it, who knows if other words do / will

Re: Forbidden / Quote extensions.
Can you try the quote stuff @MrLongbeard
We've found somewhat bizarrely that also on @HiFi Kabin site and others 'ghost' also triggers the 403

Re: Forbidden / Quote extensions.
They're right, ghost does now workMessage: Hi Steve,
The issue has been resolved. The problem was caused by a specific rule in your .htaccess file that was preventing access to the subpage:
# RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (elastix|encodeuricom|exploit|fclose|fgets|file_put_contents|fputs|fsbuff|fsockopen|gethostbyname|ghost|grablogin|hmei7|hubs_post-cta|input_file|invokefunction|(\b)load_file|open_basedir|outfile|p3dlite) [NC,OR]
This rule has now been commented out, allowing the Ghost topic to load properly.
Best regards,

Re: Forbidden / Quote extensions.
I suspect its a specific work (or words) triggering the error.
When quoting a post gives a 403, can you put a link to the post in this topic and let me know what particular word (or words) trigger the error so I can investigate deeper
Thanks

I used the pop up qoute button in my previous reply, and it was fine, went back to a post that caused it this afternoon and that's playing silly buggers;

I wouldn't like to think I paid £120 for it.
There's a lot of games, I've just been playing the GBA version of Sonic and the Mega Drive version of Gods, only for 5 mins while my crumpets toasted.
edit now 4 times
In KFB's first sentence "It's alright for the money.", it only occurs when the word 'It's' is included
