It seems that the word filter does not apply to the thread subject? I've tested it on my two forums, haven't on this one for obvious reasons (in case it doesn't work, as i think, i don't want to be banned!)
Surely there is a problem here??

OK, turned out to be an issue with something called mod_security which was being run on the server by my webhost. Talking to them they recognised the issue and were able to solve it.
Thanks for your help!

oh dear 
Well, i've since backed up the site and database, and deleted both, reinstalled punBB from scratch, and without restoring any mods / styles / database content, created a new user, then logged back in as Admin to upgrade it to Mod. Same error. I'll try talking to my webhost in the meantime, but if anyone has any ideas, I would be very gratetful....

I can make changes to the user on any page of their profile OTHER than the administration page. Does that point at the administration page of the user profile? Or some of the code that only makes it accessible to administrators...?

hmm... not sure.
I first tried it from a machine at the uni - using IE6. This failed, i tried another machine, and another. All failed.
Since tried it on my home machine, running FireFox 1.5. Also failed.
I'm a bit stumped...

I have a newly installed punBB installation at http://uprc.magnapc.co.uk/
When I try to upgrade users to moderators or administrators (User Profile, Administration, Dropdown list, Submit) I get an HTTP 406 error:
406 Not Acceptable
Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /forums/profile.php could not be found on this server.
So i tried downloading the punBB ZIP file again, extracting profile.php, and uploading it to overwrite my copy. However, this made no difference.
Any ideas please? I really need to give club staff admin / mod rights!
Thanks in advance,
JimmE
