    I got the error when logging in from my phone, but I just reloading the main page and it worked fine. I also got it once when initially logging in. I think there must be a weird redirect issue in certain cases when entering/updating your password.

    Re: Security Rule Problem

    I've gotten occasional reports of this - one person reported that the issue went away when they stopped trying to log in 'forever' and instead logged in for 24 hours.

    If I get it again I'll make sure to save the URL (because it's a security-related URL with a hash in it) to see if there's some edge cases triggering the problem.

    Old thread, but cracked it.

    Links with apostrophes (') or encoded apostrophes (%27) are automatically blocked by siteground.

    It's a protection against SQL Injection attacks. Nice extra filter there for users running inept software but we're safe, so I'll ask them to disable it.

    You will see it if you have a link like (DON'T CLICK THESE, THEY'RE EXAMPLES!!!)://www.debtfreefanatics.com/showthread.php?2497-C-is-for-cookie&highlight=won%27t
    or
    http://www.debtfreefanatics.com/show...ight=won't

    because the apostrophe (encoded or not) can be a precursor to a hacking attempt.

    I'm going to ask our host, siteground, to disable the protection.

    Siteground cleared the security restriction in our .htaccess file

    I really need to learn about those.

    Course I'm still IP blocked from my home PC... lol
