Hi Nicholas,

although I have set the option "allow site templates" to YES I am getting lots of error messages with the reason template= in URL. Have I missed a second or addition setting which I need to activate?

Thanks,
Uwe

Apparently the referenced template is not a template present on your site. In this case it's most likely an attack and it should be blocked. That said, it would help if I had the exact URL referenced in the security exception.

For example, if it's template=unsupported we're talking most likely about a RocketTheme template and their IE6 warning. In this case you're not losing much. Your visitors using IE6 would not be able to see yoru site (it would look broken to them) and now they just get blocked instead.
