That actually sounds like something your web host must be doing. They probably have some complex mod_security rules setup for Apache to prevent sites their users host from being compromised. Habari should allow you to stick just about anything in the post body.
Take a look at your hosting control panel and see if there's any user-available option about additional security, mod_security, something along those lines. If you can't find anything, you'll need to have a chat with your hosting company. On Mon, Apr 1, 2013 at 1:52 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi. > > I'm new to Habari.
