    403 Forbidden with editpost.php

    Starting last night, my users started experiencing the following error when trying to edit posts:

    Forbidden

    You don't have permission to access /forums/editpost.php on this server.

    I double checked the access permissions and they are fine. What's also odd is that it only shows this error when the URL has the query string appended. If you navigate to /forums/editpost.php without any of the query string, the page resolves normally. I am also getting the same problem with some of the pages in the admin console. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Edit more info:

    When I try to edit a user with this query string on user.php:

    user.php?do=edit&u=17

    The page resolves fine. Once I go to submit the update with this query string:

    user.php?do=update

    I get the 403 message.

    This may be due to mod_security. Please see this thread for the fix:
