A user was blocked, then I blocked myself

Okay, so I received a Blocked Email.

It says someone tried to use the query

Code:

Query String:

Only registered users can see links on this board!
Get registered or login to the forums!

Which means they clicked the Details link for this download. Anyone here can try it, go to

go to downloads, find House Resolutions (I think that's it, I'm blocked right now so can't verify) and then find The Social Secuiryt Act 1935 and click details.

If you try it and want me to unblock you after being blocked, then email me or PM me here.

So, what does this mean? Is there a problem with the details of this download?

I think it might have something to do with the name of the download, and so when they click to view details, it acts like a query of some sort. Please clarify when you have time, thanks a million.

Okay, so first, after unblocking myself, I removed the spacces between the words in the title of the download, I added an underscore. I tried to view details again. I was blocked again. I unblocked again, then I thought I might remove the parenthesis. I tried to view details after that, and it was okay. So I guess there's some problem with the parenthesis. Does that sound logical? I removed the underscores and tried the details again. Both times, without the () around HR 7260, I was able to view them and not get blocked.

It's the parentheses. This is pretty well documented in the forums Smile

. Parentheses are not allowed in the name as they are often times used by cracking attempts.

Well, I'm not too familiar with code, cracking or hacking. As such, I used the parentheses, luckily I was able to figure it out as I had blocked a member the same way.

Anyhow, thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it.
