Still getting it?

I got it too when trying to go to someone's board last night on a *different* server than you. Never seen it myself prior to that. It went away when I refreshed.

Let me see what I can find out.

Haven't talk to any members yet will have to wait and see Monday.

Thanks.

If you are a charter member on SMF, you can view my post from earlier...no responses yet though.

We're looking into this on our end. No response back from SMF, though I've seen the error above, as well as:

501 Method Not Implemented

Will update this thread as I discover more.

Ok, apparently some stronger mod_security filters were put in place across the servers that were later determined to be too problematic. I've been told that we shouldn't be receiving these any longer.

Please let me know if you experience this again.

Regards,
Jason

Update: My apologies, this is being removed now. I will report once complete.

Jason · October 31, 2005, 04:03:52 PM

Ok, done. Please let me know if you get further errors.

I got this error today and when I googled this page came up!

I installed the User CP mod which has an option to contact the Admin by email or PM. It's set to email but when I tried to change it I got

501
Method Not Implemented
POST to /testforum/index.php not supported.

I realise this is an older topic but I didnt want to start another one about the same error.

Does it have something to do with security on the server with emails or the Mod itself? I have asked about it but no reply yet

Jason · February 08, 2008, 03:35:04 PM

Is it site-wide now or just for a specific page?

Can you post or send me a link?

The Librarian · February 09, 2008, 12:10:53 PM

I'm assuming it to be related to the User CP mod but the only thing that came up on google was this thread. I have uninstalled the mod again and posted in the SMF thread but no reply as yet. In the admin panel settings for this mod, I couldnt make any changes or it would throw up that error. It has options for emailing the Admin of the site or PMing them, and changing that option threw up the 501 error. I wasnt sure if it was some setting on the server that didnt like it or something.

It was only happening when I tried to change the options for that mod. If I kept it as default it was ok, thing is I don't want people emailing me so I wanted it changed to PM.

I just thought I'd post here in case you knew of other reasons why it might be happening, but I guess I will have to forget about it for now until the mod author answers the questions. It was on my testforum, I don't have a link now as I uninstalled the mod

Hi Jason

The mod author said he's never seen that error before and I should check with my host. Any ideas?

Jason · February 11, 2008, 03:25:50 PM

I don't have any idea unless you can provide me a specific page to view producing that error.

The earlier issues with the mod security settings *could* be related but I'd need a page to analyze to be sure. It doesn't seem related.

The Librarian · February 11, 2008, 07:08:00 PM

ok I will try and install it again in the morning. Do you need a screenshot or a URL to the page as it's via the Admin panel where the error occurs?

Jason · February 11, 2008, 07:13:13 PM

Ideally an admin login and instructions to get there would be great.
