Unable to Post News Item With This Url - Why?

When I try to post a News story with this URL, it simply bounces me right to the home page as if I never existed Sad

. My guess is that some security 'feature' is hosing it up (or I'm missing something very innocuous). I'm at work right now and can't look any further. I'd appreciate it if someone might have time or knowledge of this. Thanks!

Doesn't take much imagination to figure its most likely mainfile.php
Most likely the word scripts is triggering this.

foreach ($_POST as $secvalue) {
if (eregi("<[^>]*script*\"?[^>]*>", $secvalue)) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}
}

I think the matching of scripts is the only time thats going to be a problem. I've been fighting with a simular situation and understand its frustrating beyond belief!

In fact I'm so flustered I've had to edit both these posts lol...

Code:

<script

or
