Comment (by Otto42):

 This sounds like it may be an issue better suited to the support forums,
 however, for completeness: Ask your hosting service if they have any code
 in place to block specific keywords from POST requests. It is possible
 they have an overactive filter which is seeing "convert" as the SQL
 convert command, and have thus blocked it in an attempt to prevent hacking
 attempts.

 I have not seen it for this specific word, but I have seen similar for
 others, and in all cases, it's the host using a bad ruleset somewhere.
