OK GUYS, i'm getting an error that i have no idea and nothing out there for answers. i created a 5.1 install - been working on it for a few weeks and all is well.

BUT then i went back to work on another one of my vs2005 asp.net projects (not DNN), and i get the below message:

A potentially dangerous Request.Cookies value was detected from the client (DNNPersonalization="<profile><item key="..."). 

it says to turn off the validating but is that ok??? i've never seen this and would not submit to customer with the validating turned off...so what is the solution?

i'm getting ready to go back to 4.9....????

thanks for ANY direction....

I was inspecting the contents of the cookie and i found a strange character in the item key, the same key reported in error by .net

A potentially dangerous Request.Cookies value was detected from the client (DNNPersonalization="<profile><item key="...").

DNNPersonalization

<profile><item key=":" type="System.String, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"><string>True</string></item></profile>

Any ideias how to remove that character ?

Thanks.
