Hi, today I have tested the customisable html template on a website with admin tools. I created an html override in /htdocs/templates/tmplname/html/com_admintools/blocks/default.php and blocked my self, but there is just the unformatted text of my custom message (no html in the source code).

It seems the template is only shown for security exceptions, but not for blocks - is that right?
Thanks in advance,
Terry Harker

Correct. There are two different messages possible, one for blocks and one for security exceptions. When you are blocked you are always shown the plain text message for performance and security reasons. The HTML template takes about 3x as long and 5x as much memory to show, also taking much more bandwidth to deliver the message. When someone is blocked for trying repeated hacking attempts you want to return an error message as small as you can, as fast as you can and with as less memory usage as possible to avoid them ending up crashing your server.

Ok, thank you for the quick answer. It makes sense thinking of multiple attacks in a short time which then shouldn't cause the server to do hard work once we already know we don't want that "visitor".
