I'm trying to post in the musical instruments thread and get this:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /community/posting.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


I'm not getting it in other forums (e.g. this post). Am I the only one?

Hey... just tried it myself... something odd happening there! Any brain-boffin programmers know what the deal is?

I did some research. Here is what's happening:

That also explains how to fix it. It sounds like a filter used to prevent buffer overflow attacks is screening out p s y.

There are more instances in the "Magic Word?" thread in the General forum area, by the way.
