Error message text too harsh?

Whenever a person clicks to follow a link on my site and is not signed in or registered he gets this error message "

vBulletin Message
You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.
Date the ban will be lifted: Never"

How can I change the text to be more friendly so it will not discourage the viewer?

Thanks for any suggestions.

That message should only come up if the person browsing is on the banned group. Guests should not be seeing that.

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); has no effect. If I could impose, try to click on "Reply with quotes" on this link. HERE

Maybe something in htaccess, or vbseo?

Your link reply with quotes looks like this:

Code:

When it should look like this:

Code:

Yours has the extra in it

But on another thread, the link for reply looks like this, no extra ampersand:

HTML Code:

http://www.treasurecoastaviation.com/forums/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=1951

In the source code, it looks like it is pulling up the right error class, but I suspect that phrase may have been changed at some point?

HTML Code:

<div class="standard_error">

        <h2 class="blockhead">vBulletin Message</h2>

        

                <div class="blockbody formcontrols">

                        <div class="blockrow restore"><p>You have been banned for the following reason:<br />

No reason was specified.</p>



<p>Date the ban will be lifted: Never</p></div>

                </div>

        

</div>

Plus, I am not seeing the extra ampersand on the thread the OP linked us to:

HTML Code:

EDIT: Never mind Ozzy - you are saying it SHOULD have the ampersand. Is that right? I pasted the one you said it should look like into my addressbar, and still got the "You have been banned" error message.

(Using 4.2.2) I have no one banned. A unregistered browser can view everything but if he tries to reply to a posting without signing in he gets the harsh error message.

Yeah that should be the right class.

No there is something else going on in your site, no need to edit code. Have you added anything to your htaccess file?

I don't think the ampersand makes any difference, like i said I pasted the one Ozzy said it should be, and still got same error.

Actually I see some of the code has been hidden in my other reply, but no matter, it still don't work either way.
