The calendar events seem to have dropped off the front page.  At least, the CCoI voting events did--not sure if that's because they've already started and are ongoing now, or because they're in the competitions calendar, or what.  But previously they showed during the event.

@MindWanderer I'm not sure if it's because they already started or not, BUT there's definitely a fix slated for 4.1.10 that seems relevant:

The "Upcoming Events" widget in Calendar may not show all events.

So it's possible this is a known bug that will be fixed in the next release.

@Chernabogue Do you remember what you were posting? There are generally two possibilities:

1. It was something specific to the content you were posting, which triggered a mod_security outside of IPS
2. It was an environmental thing and/or a bug in the software

So far most of the 500 errors we've seen fall into the first category, but we've tweaked the rule that was causing most issues... if it happens again & you can get me a screenshot + time/date stamp, appreciated.

Yes, it was a first version of my "Frequent BSOD/crashes" thread. Just plain text, no pics or links.

Another error while PMing 2 other members. Attached a screenshot of the error.

same error, just making a reply. Tried again, cant reply

@Brandon Strader, @Chernabogue It's definitely mod_security.... again. Can you see if you can figure out the text that's triggering it?

According to Larry, it could be the word "update". I tried and it worked without that word.

@Brandon Strader, @Chernabogue Thanks for your assistance on this - SHOULD be fixed now, please let us know if it persists or you see a similar error in the future!

[Brandon Strader]

So was it because of the word "update"? I had no way to confirm cause apparently I wrote the post on my work laptop and not at home, and I won't be back there until tonight. 

I am able to confirm that I did say update in the post I tried to post that didn't work.

Moving to "Site Issues & Feedback" since we've now been on IPS 4.X for a good bit.... THANKS to everyone who chimed in with issues, and we can still use this thread for the same purpose, just doesn't need to be pinned in community anymore!

Don't know if it was reported but Soundcloud links don't integrate very well. I can see an interface but no way to play the music or to access to Soundcloud.

I can't add tags on my recruiting threads.
