Hello everyone! I'm getting a 403 forbidden error when trying to update my forum description to include HTML. The snippet of code is:

This is where all affiliation requests and advertisements go. <i>Guest Friendly</i><br>

Board Password: advertise

I'm not sure why this error keeps appearing, because it works just fine on the forum I'm trying to migrate from. Is it possibly a setting I need to edit under configuration? Or do I need to go into my c-panel. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you so much!

Thank you! I was able to access the file on my server using WinSCP. What do I need to do next to allow html in forum descriptions?

You need to ask your host to disable mod_security

Quote:You should contact your host provider and ask them to whitelist your domain or hosting account against mod_security - basically so that it doesn’t affect you anymore.

Thank you! Solved
