Error when posting with a certain word

[ibaker]

I was creating a post in my forums about my 10 year old son having an operation and that the doctor prescribed Tramadol as a pain killer for him.

I kept on getting the error:

until I changed the word Tramadol to Tram adol

Any ideas why?

Do you have mod_security enabled on your server?

Smart thinking Batman...thanks, that is probably what is doing it

Logically, I think it would be mod_security since it's triggering on a keyword.

I hope that's all it is.

I have been able to find out that the server security is stopping posts that contain certain words which is great and it is doing what it is intended to do however the error message being displayed in XF is causing me grief. Can anyone advise of a possible solution to this? There is no phrase that contains "You don't have permission to access..." etc so I can't change it to also include something like " or your post contains words that are blocked by our server" etc

That error is returned by your web server. The text is not in XenForo for you to edit. But you can define a custom 403 page in your .htaccess file. From a Google search:
