I just setup a mybb forum on my account when I try to post a thread with 6 to 8 links I get this error what is up??

You don't have permission to access /mybb/newthread.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

When I post a all text thread I do not get a error. Did x10 set some type of spam protection that will not allow to make a post on my forum with a few links in it??

You've hit the nail on the head. There is a mod_security rule in place preventing more than three links at a time. It can be lifted on request, but that may not be a good idea if it's something you can work around and you're running a public forum, since that puts you firmly on the hook for monitoring/moderating user content - and if a test shows your site to be a god place to put a forest of links, you're pretty much guaranteed to be a target. That can easily lead to suspension if you don't stay on top of things.

It may be easier to just split your content when necessary, but it's your call.
