Basically if I post a new thread/reply on my forum which has a few links in there, is over like 5 paragraphs or has certain words I get the following error:

"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forum/newthread.php on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

Anyone offer assistance? I've made sure that there's no limit on posting words, or links...

Thanks in advance.
Update: looks like it's just certain words and links.

looks like mod_security is affecting. it would be better to contact your web host for fixing it.

Ok, cheers for the response. Just wanted to check there wasn't an underlying setting which blocked these by default.

I'm awaiting a response from them now.
