 * I’m starting to think this may be a problem resulting from my host but thought
   i would ask here first. I did a forum search but couldn’t find anything mirroring
   my problem.
 * Over the last day or so I have been unable to update my Word Press.
 * Eventually I got it to sort of work, but I can update with no more than a short
   paragraph. Any time I try to post or edit with more content I get an Error 403.
 * I am using a modified version of the connections theme and have been doing so
   for about the last year or so.

 * Ask your host about mod_security. Odds are, they have it on and there’s something
   in your posts that it doesn’t like…
