I have an issue saving any content that contains an angle bracket. If I try to save, then the home page loads (I assume root drupal installation dir), and the content is not saved. No error messages are displayed, and non are logged by web server. I haven't always had the problem, as I do have some content containing html, but I can't identify what changed to cause the problem.

Anyone have any idea what might cause this, or how I can go about finding the cause?

I can't be the only one with this issue?

This was being caused by mod_security on my server. Disable this and it fixes the problem.

I had the same problem! Thanks for finding that...

For any others who don't have access to httpd.conf et al, mod_security can be disabled by adding the following to .htaccess:

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
