I am using MyBB forum and i tried adding this into my templates theme
Code: 
<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.3.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

When i click save it keeps giving me this error..
Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /admin/index.php could not be found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Hi cstrike3, will you please put the entirety of the code in your reply?
You have only put a minor snippit of it, which we can't really do much with. There may be something in your file that is preventing you from being able to add it.

Hello, well regarding this problem, I searched around and found something.

From an earlier post at https://x10hosting.com/community/threads/error-406.197623/.

Hi umbranet,

I'm sorry I missed this thread. This error message is indeed being caused by mod_security, which is something we use on our free hosting servers to protect our customers' websites from common attacks. It will scan any requests made your website, and any suspicious requests will be denied. The code you are trying to submit contains JavaScript, and mod_security will block this, to prevent JavaScript injection. Normal users won't need to submit any JavaScript, so these mod_security rules are usually effective in stopping attacks to vulnerable applications.

I would recommend editing your templates another way. I'm not aware of how MyBB's template system works, but if your templates are stored as files, you can edit them using cPanel's File Manager or through FTP. If they are stored in the database, you can edit them manually with phpMyAdmin.

Just to clarify, mod_security usually gives a 403 Forbidden or 406 Not Implemented error when a request has been blocked.

Thank you,

What are you trying to do with the Thread Prefix?

Like, what code are you attempting to use for it.

I mean <font color="#EC1E1E">[Status]</font>
Sorry!

I've been spending too much time on MyBB forums. ._.

Lol.
<font> is depreciated in HTML5, the reason why spans are being used to do the job these days. ;)

It may be depreciated, but it may work.
That's why I said to just attempt it.

I did a quick search and it seems that you were half right in the first place. You just have to use [ ] and not < > and don't use any quotes around the colour you're wanting to use.
