Filthy wordpress bug
WARNING to bloggers: Do not waste your time typing any really long messages into wordpress unless you have uploaded a .htaccess file containing the following into your wp-admin folder:
SecFilterScanPOST Off
If you don’t do this, a built-in linux thing called MOD_SECURITY may highly likely think that your post is a malicious hacking attempt and it will block the form submission and send you to an ugly wordpress 404 page. I have been stung by this one many times and it just stung me again, while actually writing another blog post which I just completely lost because of this bug. It wipes out the contents of your form when you use the Back button and its extremely frustrating.
Wordpress should have done the right thing and included this .htaccess file with the product archive so that it exists by default without their users having to learn the hard way.
