    I have been getting hundreds of attempts of someone trying to enter URLs into URL variables the last few days

    The server errors out but why would I be getting so many lately.

    This is an example of what the are putting in the URL.

    ?Item=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thoseguysfilms.com%2Fforums%2Ftemplates%2FsubSilver%2Fimages%2Fuza%2Flaqipu%2F

    The Item would usually be a number.

    Thanks in advance.

    Looks like you are running phpBB. I'd recommend updating to the latest version if you haven't already and not worry about it.

    If the same IP is chewing up alot of your bandwidth with this, you could always block it at the router level or with htaccess
