    Umm..., so I tried looking for the "Fakin' The Funk?" app that @pratyahara mentioned in this thread, and well... this happened:

    I guess, I'm a hacker now? :disco:

    How to reproduce the error:
    1. Search for "Fakin' The Funk" (or any other phrase that includes an apostrophe) in the Sister Site's search engine.
    2. Switch to any other website, for example: www.google.com.
    3. Go back to the previous page by using "go back" arrow that is built into every web browser.
    If the searched phrase includes an apostrophe, this error occurs. Otherwise, the website loads correctly.

    Not a big deal, but admins might want to look into this :thumbsup:

    I think site consider apostrophe as SQL-injection attempt, so you can see this message. But it's funny anyway :)

    Yes, you are right, this message appears in different situations, most of them have nothing to do with hacking attempt. It's a remaining of the old programmer that put this on many occasions to simplify his work.

    it may happen that some symbol is interpreted as sql statements in the context of some queries and therefore blocked .. especially the tilde can create nice and very funny results
