The thing with mod_security is getting it dialed in. Since WordPress traditionally has a limited set of data entry points, I imagine we’ll see more of these issues arise. What surprises me is this hasn’t been an issue for BuddyPress yet, and everything within a BuddyPress site happens from within the theme. Glad you’ve got it sorted out though.

I’ve gone through my fair share of forum transitions and they always manage to upset everyone. Forum software is not unlike any other *thing* in that the person interacting with it gets attached to the way it works at a behavioral level. When you move any 1 thing around, it upsets their workflow, and makes things difficult again. When you move everything around, it’s a nightmare, and rarely do forum users rejoice at the change.

No worries, I try not to take anything personally.
