I am trying to post a new thread in the dedicated ISE forum but just get a ‘Forbidden Access’ warning, in either ISE forum.
Moved this into here from main forums.
I can post in all the usual forums but there seems to be a glitch with both of the ISE forums. I have a customer fault call and wanted to post a bit of background info.
Jim.
No problem here that I can see Jim, try it now as I changed you to having mod rights in there as well now.

Re: Cannot post
Weird, still no joy. I have logged out and back in again and have never had a problem posting in either of the ISE forums before.
I wonder if last nights update to ZoneAlarm Pro is causing problems. ❓
Jim.
EDIT.
Very strange, I can post in all the other forums bar the ISE ones, with ZA running I just get a page saying Forbidden You do not have permission to access/modules.php on this server.
If I disable ZA I get an HTTP 403 error message. Need to see if anyone else is having problems posting to the ISE forums. ❓
Re: Cannot post
Ken, the problem seems to be if I try to add a new thread. I find that I can edit some of my earlier posts without any problems, it is only if I try to start a new thread that I get rejected.

Re: Cannot post
Well I have no idea what was going on there. Every time I tried to post that message I was barred. I had copied the message to the clipboard the first time it was rejected and kept trying to paste it back into a new thread without success.
I eventually tried again, this time I added just a few lines and found I could post. I then pasted the whole of my original message from the clipboard and it was rejected.
Then using Edit post and pasting a few lines at a time I eventually managed to submit the whole post.
To quote Marlon from the Perishers, ” the mind boggles” 😕 🙂
Re: Cannot post
Ive tried a test post normal,sticky and announcement, no probs Jim.
Ive only ever had a similar problem when I was trying to edit someone elses post. I was informed on screen that you can only edit your own posts. Eventually glitch went and was able to edit, in the words of Ja Ja Binx ” How rude” 😆Greg
Re: Cannot post
It’s possible, but I’ve not trialled the latest release of Zone Alarm, the update thing annoyed me, so I can’t say for sure. The firewall shouldn’t cause a problem, but stranger things. 😕

Re: Cannot post
Don’t think it was the firewall because I still had problems with it turned off. For some reason something in the text of my post caused it to choke. I may have inserted a subliminal message without realising it 😀
The strange thing is that it rejected the full post but when I added it bit by bit It was accepted. 😕
Ah, how did you do the text? Sometimes, Word and its derivitives espcially, insert line break characters and other “code” that isn’t really code that the forums will barf at. The forum code could see it as illegal characters and barf or it may think that someone’s trying to use some sort of injection hack.
