Is it anything to do with ElkArte, i checked with my host. They said it is due to mod_security and kindly check your .htaccess or disable mod_security. Should i change some files to fix it , problem started 1 week back.

Just disable mod_security, it serves no purpose on Elkarte.

IMO there's nothing we can fix in ElkArte's codebase.. It sounds like mod_security is at least not properly configured. Maybe your webhoster can give you some details about why your connection to the server has been blocked (logfiles should give you the reason).

No, having mod_security active by default doesn't mean you are on a crappy host. Not having the option to disable it, not even on request, instead, definitely means it's a crappy host.

The first sentence is from IndianTalkZone's host, not something said by derived.

Sorry for the delayed reply, my host gives me the option to disable mod_security. They also said kindly notify us if you face any problem, so that we can fix it and they asked me to check with site settings. That's why i dropped a help thread here. Now i am clear that Elkarte has no issue (but still have a doubt because of the transition from MyBB to Elkarte, some mistake i could have done).
