I got this message twice this morning, when I tried to post a reply on 'other' under the forums software section:
Forbidden You don't have permission to access /forums/other/ on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Our web server has a feature that takes care of security, sometimes a little to zealously. It usually means someone is posting to many links or code that the server thinks is malicious. If your post is going to contain either or both of those, copy your post into Leafpad first to be on the safe side.
Thanks Jerry, that's a really helpful tip Wink .

I was copying a significant block of code from one part of the forum to the other,
and, from what you've said,  this appears to have triggered the servers
security feature.
