Most often it is pretty recent ongoing threads that get (attempted) spammed (that you do not see) vs in random old threads like your two examples.

just been getting this Error trying to Login to forum.

An error occurred during a connection to forums.mozillazine.org:80. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

as i just figured out, the problem is HTTPS on this forum, i have been using HTTPS for awhile on this forum without errors till now, but i gone back to HTTP an works fine

What sort of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.
