Hi Paolo,

No problems here (with CFv5.0.9 on Joomla! 3.3). Maybe a server setting issue - though the form isn't very big.

Hi Paolo,

The server logs perhaps; and this FAQ might help.

Hi Bob,
unfortunatly i'm back with the same problem.
It's appears random on some forms ....
One work around was to unload a form delete it and reload.

but not always works ....

can you help me ?

Hi Paolo,

I suggest that you white-list the ChronoForms admin pages in mod-security. ChronoForms uses base64 encoding to 'pack up' the form action data (you can see it if you look at the ChronoForms database tables). From the message you posted it looks as though there are occasional random matches between strings in that data and some of the strings that mod_security is checking for.
