    Default "Error 406" for thread in Wheels & Tires forum

    I tried to read this thread and get an error message:

    Error 406 - Not Acceptable
    An error has occurred. Generally a 406 error is caused because a request has been blocked by Mod Security. If you believe that your request has been blocked by mistake please contact the web site owner.
    I've never seen that sort of error before, and I don't really know where it's coming from - the site? the ISP? my work network? The last part says to contact the web site owner, which would leave me to believe the error message is not being generated by vBulletin, but I don't know. I'm able to access other threads without issue, so it's not the site as a whole.

    I see the thread has 33 views, so maybe others are able to open the thread just fine?

    It's because of the apostrophes in the thread title. There is a notice about special characters in the forum announcements section. Mods will have to fix it.

    Thread tile has been renamed. Your link above has also been changed.

    Can't have special characters in thread titles. vBulletin security doesn't like it.

    Huh, didn't know that.

    Thanks for getting it squared away.
