 * Hi,
 * Once a post has been published, if I edit it, any changes I make do not get save
   even after I click on SAVE.
    It just redirect me to the my blog front page and
   the blog is left unchanged.
 * Any one has any experience with this problem?
 * Thanks,
    Bugs.

 * Here is an update… it is getting more and more strange!!!
    When I go in the editor
   while editing a post if I wait for about 1 minute then suddenly all the screen
   layout goes weird… I have only noticed that since I cannot edit my posts….
 * Here is the normal screen shot:

   And here is when I wait for one minute and do nothing at all: [http://www.35mmfrog.com/wp-content/shot2.jpg](http://www.35mmfrog.com/wp-content/shot2.jpg)

 * Fixed.
 * … by switching off mod_security.
 * Not sure if this means my site is less secure now though, but thats the only 
   solution to my problem.
