whenever i attempt to edit ctf_underhanded's thread 1st post or downloads page, i get the following:

Code:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@forums.tf2maps.net and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/5.2.11 Server at forums.tf2maps.net Port 80

this happens when clicking the button that would confirm an edit. and happens regardless of if i even try to edit anything.
the pages affected are:
http://forums.tf2maps.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=3222
and
http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=11801

i have been having this problem now for a week. however, i am able to successfully edit other submissions i have made.

as this is a contest entry, i'm sure you can understand why i'm feeling concerned about this situation

I had this exact same problem when editing the OP in my Custom Blend Materials tutorial. And I (kind of) found the problem. I have no idea why, but whenever I tried to edit the post and add anything that contained the word "from" (no quotes of course), I encountered this error. Removing the word "from" fixed the problem. :blink:

I'm still getting the error too, but I have no "from" inside my post.

Instead it decides to choke up when I use the word "delete".

FYI, using the "Go Advanced" button or post previewing a post is a fast way to test without actually making a new post if it succeeds.

is this while you're editing a post or making a new one?

In my case, it was a new post.

Right now I'm typing in the "Quick Reply" box to this thread.

I can't successfully post while having the phrase "delete_from" (without the underscore) present. Blocking common words seems like a lousy way to prevent injection attacks :p

So we're not allowed to post commonly used phrases, like delete from?

That did something. You can post with delete from in the message.
