Using the word "psy" causes a forbidden page to show on my site

Hello. This may be the strangest thing I have ever seen. My forum has worked fine for the last year.

But randomly... and I mean randomly, using the word "psy" in our forum has startded to cause a 403 forbidden message to show up. I don't get it. I really don't. It is very strange.

Up until yesterday we had been using newbb2. But I thought, maybe if I upgraded to CBB 3.2 that the problem would go away. It did not go away and I have no idea what to do about it. Especially because we are a dj site and we have several psytrance djs who like to post.

Yah I thought you wouldn't know what to say. Where do I even begin looking to debug this situation? Who do I ask?

ok... wait it gets even better.

Its not just happening in the forum, it is also happening in WF Downloads 3RC1. I cannot edit the files because they have the word "psy" listed in them. But they posted fine quite a while ago. What the hell is going on here? Is this a server issue? Is their some blocked words list? I mean seriously the word "PSY" is breaking my site! I just don't get it.

see it here in WF Downloads: under the music video category.

I did the search you suggested, but I am not sure what you really have me looking for.

I do recall an issue another user had several months ago, which meant that any time a phrase was used, some similar problem arose - I think this was something to do with something his hosting provider had installed, and was not XOOPS related.

I haven't had any luck finding the relevent thread however, as I'm very sure the poster did get this resolved in the end...

Have you tried installing a copy of your XOOPS site locally with XAMP (or similar) and seeing if the issue arrises?

It probably is with your hosting provider as mentioned earlier. I am not sure where you are from or where your provider is located but the word "psy" or derivitives of this word in some slavik languages is considered a bad word.
