 * It has become apparent that there is a conflict between Nextgen Gallery and ModSecurity.
   My server has ModSecurity enabled on our server and when it is enabled, Nextgen
   is getting 403 errors and images aren’t being added to the gallery. When ModSecurity
   is disabled, Nextgen works perfectly fine. I have about 50 client sites on my
   server having the same issue. Is there anything in the works for a future NextGen
   upgrade that will take care of this?

 * Thanks. It doesn’t seem like you would use any special characters for the file
   name. I am wondering if you are encountering any upload issues if trying to upload
   this image to a completely new gallery or only to an existing gallery

 * I have tried creating a new gallery and uploading a new image to it but I still
   encounter the same problem.
