Forum Problems after Upgrade to 2.13

I have noticed an error in my forums after upgrading to 2.13.
I use 7.11nsn and now when you click on posts since last visit, then try to click on a post you get an illegal content error.
It appears that it is not send the full string to view the posting.

I know it sounds crazy but it was working fine and I have not altered the forums in anyway, I have just reinstated a backup to make sure but still no joy.

/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=348&highlight=

bit missing of the end, any ideas ????

Theat is in hte Santy Worm protection. Open includes/sentinel.php and find:

Code:

$bad_uri_content="rush,highlight,perl,chr(,pillar,visualcoder,sess_";

Now change it to:

Code:

$bad_uri_content="rush,perl,chr(,pillar,visualcoder,sess_";

Strange it doesn't happen when using the search function where highlight is used too.

but if i'm not wrong, this code would also ban something like this:

Code:

/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=348&highlight=perl

which could be perfectly legitimate

is there no other way?
