locked topics due to copyright
« on: Tuesday 15 August 06 12:52 BST (UK) »
I have often opened a topic but when I try to view it I get a box suggesting that there may be a breach of copyright, I have always presumed that this is the prob', however I opened a topic today that I have contributed to and got the same pop up box - on further investigation I can see no sign of any breach of copyright. Can anyone explain this?

the topic is here

Its possibly to do with the location - Look up request Boards - which look as if they have been set up to automatically post that pop up whenever a right click is used.

Denn

Falkyrn is quite right.  This topic is not locked.  Trying to "right click" on any of the LOOKUP REQUESTS board will summon the automated copyright message.

As Falkyrn says Denn, you get it if you accidentally - or otherwise - right click (is it dble click in Apple?) on a posting.

I've just and had the same message when I went in to the link you gave and right clicked.

It does the same with either a right click, left click or anything. I did wonder if it was a problem with my graphics tab', but that doesn't seem right because all other topics are working normally.
