There is a cartoon JonB likes to quote: 2 panels, both show a programmer in front of a computer monitor: 1st Panel: It doesn't work and I don't know why. 2nd Panel: It works and I don't know why.

To steal a quote from police academy ... sort of ...

$output =~ s/($scripturl\?)([^'"]+)/ $1 . URL_modify($2) /eg;
sub URL_modify { my $x = shift; $x =~ s/;/&/g; $x; }
This rewrites the query strings to something more likely to pass mod_security. I am guessing the problem with PMs specifically is related to the fact that accessing a PM sends 3 different query sting items where most other YaBB query stings only have 2 items.

Whatever the issue is, I can send a new message to somebody else, but I cannot read a PM that has been sent to me.

I posted about this somewhere (I know I did, because when I go to create a new message, I can see I have used the thread title before) but I have no idea where, whether here or the main forum or elsewhere.
I cannot read PMs on any of my forums, because any time I try to access the PMs the browser throws a 501 error saying GET not implemented.
I was told this is not a YaBB error, but is probably something with my host's security settings ... but that doesn't give me much to take to the host, to try and track the issue down.
But this time around I am determined to find a solution to this, which is why I am asking for information again. If I can't find any info to help, here, then I will have to start posting messages on a perl forum (ie about perl), where I will have no idea what I am actually asking about.
The thing is, GET is a fairly important part of the language, isn't it? I am guessing that GET is used for many things in various places in YaBB, so I wonder why this is the only thing that doesn't work. So I am just asking to get some information I can try to pass on ... where else does YaBB make use of GET?
