 * Hello!
 * When I try to insert a post, the dialogue box just hangs… then when I try to 
   send a test email I get the following:
 * <html><head>
    <title>403 Forbidden</title> </head><body> <h1>Forbidden</h1> <
   p>Access to this resource on the server is denied!</p> </body></html>
 * This has only recently happened. I’ve adding this to my .htaccess:
 * <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off </IfModule
   >
 * but don’t work. My server hosting disabled Mod_Security but don’t work… what 
   happen?
 * Regards,
    David

 * Hi,
 * I deactivated all themes and plugins. The error continued. I activated the debug
   mode and don’t show conflicts with other scripts.
