    Quick reply not working in some forums after vbSEO install

    For some reason some of the forums on my site are having issues with the quick reply feature after we installed vbSEO.

    When someone goes to use the quick reply the site just hangs and does not submit the post. Anyone know what could be causing this and how it can be fixed?

    Try adding the following to your .htaccess
    Code:
    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </IfModule>

    mod_security is an apache module that looks for keywords in form/db submits and attempts to stop sql injection.

    Problem is, if you type "from" or another keyword in the post, it can cause the error.

    The rule Mert suggested above disables that from happening, defating the purpose of having the module installed in the first place.

    Re-complie apache without that module. There's no sense in
    - adding wieght to apache by including the module and processing every request at run-time
    - adding a rule to disable said action from happening.

    here's a nice article on it.
    mod_security Tyler Muth’s Blog

    The closing paragraph sums it up. Vb is pretty dang secure out of the box. There are currently no known exploits in the software, and when one does arise, they release a patch level usually within a day.

    I don't run it and have never had an issue.
