Problem posting

Sorry for the global post, but this is joebarnin and I can't post to the private forums or sent a PM. Here's the error I get:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /darkmod/index.php? on this server.

Springheel had the answer:

 

When you get that message, it usually means you've typed some word or phrase that IP.Board doesn't like for some reason. Happened to me a few times too and it's highly annoying. All you can do is cut out one sentence at a time to try and track down what word it doesn't like.

 

Turns out the offending phrase was: tdm__player__base (with only one '_' between each word). If you search for that word you'll get the same error. It appears to have something to do with the phrases that start with tdm, followed by the underscore character, followed by at least two more characters (!). Bizarre.

 

Anyway, thanks to Springheel for the solution!

It's a security measure. The server blocks queries containing certain potentially dangerous keywords, as an additional layer of defence against hypothetical remote execution exploits in Apache/PHP/IP.Board/whatever. w.g.e.t and c.u.r.l (without the dots) are two other keywords that trigger this, IIRC.

 

It's kinda annoying (especially the tdm_ one) but I guess it's worth it if it actually does provide extra security.

My games | Public Service Announcement: TDM is not set in the Thief universe. The city in which it takes place is not the City from Thief. The player character is not called Garrett. Any person who contradicts these facts will be subjected to disapproving stares.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
