Please don't!

Please don't!

For sure!

It seems like you've encountered another ZB block. An admin will get on it ASAP...

I got the same message when accessing this topic https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...0%26%238207%3B

I'm trying to access it using rekonq.

[vinnywright]

this has to be some kind of quirk ,,,,, I get the same error if I try to use the link @NickStone posted ,,,but accessing the thread from the forum page works ??

NickStone, I get the same error on your URL.
It probably has something to do with the ZB Block used by vBulletin to block web site attacks.

[NickStone]

I've tried clicking on the link as quoted on the home page of the forums and within the Kubuntu Catchall forum. Both display the 403 forbidden page. Anyone able to view this topic and please tell me what it says?

[kubicle]

There are extra chars/string at the end of the query in the non-working links, which zb-block recognises as possible injection attempts.

The links work fine if you remove the extra string/chars.

You can check the "query" and "stripped query" on the 403 page to see what is "excessive".

The likely cause is clicking on a malformed http link.

Released from the brig

... after few days of the 503 brig (too many 403 - > 503 service unavailable ?? ) the dangerous criminal is again at here.

Rog -

I've sprung you from the brig. Let me know if you receive a 503 again.

... after few days of the 503 brig (too many 403 - > 503 service unavailable ??

ZB-block will do that, block you out (giving only 503 error)...the default time out for the block is 24 hours (IIRC), but the time out will reset if you try to connect during that time...so if you try to connect every day you'll end up being blocked indefinitely.

Rog, I get the EXACT same error message, and after a few times trying I get the Error 503 unavailable. Strangely I'm ok using Windows OS, but now it is stating the same thing. Maybe the "StopForumSpam" is not working right.
