    Question Return link for Server Abuse Detection?

    I don't know if this question has been asked before but can't seem to find it in the forum.
    I would like the user to be able to return to the form with saved data like the way that fmbadhandler does through a return link.
    The reason that I would like to do this is because if a user types data into a form (like multiple urls for example) without knowing that this will trigger a server abuse detection and it is a genuine mistake; I don't want to penalise the user by not being able to provide them a way back to the form with saved information.
    I am currently using this feature:
    PHP Code:
    ATTACK_DETECTION_URL 
    to re-direct the user to a custom page but have also noticed that the default url: http://www.tectite.com/serverabuse.php
    also has no such feature fpr the user to return to a saved form.

    Does any one know if there is a way to do this?
    Thanks.

    Default Re: Return link for Server Abuse Detection?

    I just tried changing the url to re-direct back to my bad_template which is fine, the re-direction works however if the user tries to click on the return link, then it fails as the process is not being handled by fmbadhandler.

    Surely there must be a way to enable the user to return to the form with saved data if they make a genuine mistake which is read by formmail as a spam attack?

    Hi,

    The idea is that if you trigger server abuse, then that's it - all done.

    The user can generally use the browser back button to go back, but that's browser-dependent.

    It doesn't go through the same error processing logic.

    We'll look at this again when we review and enhance the error processing features of FormMail.

    For now, your form should clearly state any limits you've applied.

    Thanks Russell,
    I was just working on a way to warn my users when you responded!
    Thanks again, again!
