Thanks Smartys,

It was a 'mod security' issue with my hosts, all sorted now!

I've just tried a totally fresh install of 1.2.14. Same problem. can you think what kind of host problem it might be? All permissions that I know of are correct (755 - folders and 644 - files).

Can someone with a 1.2.12 or 1.2.14 fresh install try creating and then deleting a user, or moving a member to a different group?

I have had 1.2.12 installed on a client site for a little while (unused pending site release) and found yesterday that if I try to delete a user (logged in as admin, select user profile admin tab, then click on delete user) then it doesn't work. The page I try to delete from is profile.php?section=admin&id=4. When i click delete, the following page is shown in the browser URL field profile.php?section=admin&id=4&action=foo but I get a 403 forbidden error ("You are not authorized to view this page").

I tried installing 1.2.14 but still have the problem.  I also get the same error if I try to change the user from "member" to "moderator" etc.

Has anyone come across this before, and has a simple solution?  I've searched the forum for "delete user" etc but haven't found an answer.

Thanks,
Paul
