I see this has been posted about before:  
[http://lists.radiantcms.org/pipermail/radiant/2006-August/001283.html](http://lists.radiantcms.org/pipermail/radiant/2006-August/001283.html)

But I wanted to give this url on Textdrive:  
[http://help.textdrive.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=85](http://help.textdrive.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=85)

And show how a seemingly simple line will trigger it:

body {  
background: url(“…/images/body\_home\_bg.gif”) left 97px repeat-x  
#8a8a8a;  
font-family: “Lucida Grande” “Lucida Sans Unicode” Arial sans-serif;  
font-size: x-small;  
font-weight: normal;  
margin: 0;  
padding: 0;  
position: relative;  
}

Offending line:  
background: url(“…/images/body\_home\_bg.gif”) left 97px repeat-x  
#8a8a8a;

When I removed the “…/” (which I needed to do anyway) it cleared up.

Michael,

You could also ask Textdrive to turn off mod\_security and mod\_speling  
for your domain. One time I had a post that had the words HTTP and FTP  
in it and it would break, even though they didn’t start URLs. I haven’t  
had any trouble since they did turned those mods off.
