Strange Occurance

[ConqSoft]

Brian,

I've seen this in my error logs a few times now. ANY idea where this could be coming from?

File does not exist: /usr/www/users/fbforums/gallery/notmyemail@address.com

(The notmyemail@address.com actually shows the e-mail address I have defined in vBulletin Options as my "Webmaster's E-mail".)

It's almost like there's a link somewhere in gallery that should be a mailto, but isn't, or something.... Dunno. I'm stumped.

That's a good one... Is it showing up farily often, or just a few times?

I've seen it twice already in today's error log.

I'll e-mail a section of the error log.

I had something similar, but I was able to reproduce it....

OK... it just happened, but normally users should not be doing this.. allthough you never know...

_________

1st I look at a category:
http://www.mysite.com/forum/gallery/browseimages.php?c=18&userid=

then.. just for testing.. i change c=18 to c=1000

http://www.mysite.com/forum/gallery/browseimages.php?c=1000&userid

I get the following error message:

No Category specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

that is ok.. because the category does not exist...

BUT:
the word "administrator" is linked... when i click on it, my browser wants to go to the following url:

http://www.mysite.com/forum/gallery/admin-email@adress.net

admin-email@adress.net being the contact email I entered in the board!!!

so I guess if there is a wrong link somewhere or a place you users are not allowed to go and the system tells you should contact the admin if you think there is an error... in that case the administrator link appears.

in your case
if a search engine is just indexing a page.. it could be that it would try to follow that link that it is not allowed to.. and you will have it in the logfiles...

q.e.d.

Thanks Luciano. I had gone through most every page, but couldn't find anywhere that the email addresses were linked like that. To fix the problem, just look in your browseimages.php file for 2 instances of this code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Replace each with this:

Content visible to verified customers only.

And that should take care of the problem.
