Error page when trying to add certain thread to favorites

[ITPaladin]

When trying to add this thread to my favorites, I received this page:

Server Error in '/' Application.
A potentially dangerous Request.QueryString value was detected from the client (FTVAR_FAVNAME="... PC Games <COD 2> <Quake 4> <C...").
Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous client input value, and processing of the request has been aborted. This value may indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your application, such as a cross-site scripting attack. You can disable request validation by setting validateRequest=false in the Page directive or in the configuration section. However, it is strongly recommended that your application explicitly check all inputs in this case.

Exception Details: System.Web.HttpRequestValidationException: A potentially dangerous Request.QueryString value was detected from the client (FTVAR_FAVNAME="... PC Games <COD 2> <Quake 4> <C...").

Got the same message when trying to post a link to a page at circuitcity.com. Maybe it has to do with the recent DoS attacks and security measures taken regarding them. If so, they might need a little tweaking.
