We recommend that you don't exceed this height otherwise the top of the background image might need adjusting. If the supplied background image is retained, the white space at the top might also need adjusting. Make sure that you select Enable custom title image from the attributes list underneath.
Custom background image	The image to replace the red motif. The outlined box around the central text is 150 pixels from the top of the page. If you're replacing the default image, you must make sure that the new image has at last 150 pixels of white space at the top to make sure that it appears at the top of the outlined box. We recommend the image is 800 pixels wide, with the motif centralized within. Make sure that you select Enable custom background image from the attributes list underneath.
Show unblock request	Displays a button on the block page so that users can request that a blocked page be unblocked. Clicking the button on the block page opens a form that when completed sends the request via the email server used for alerts. If you're creating a customized block page for your tenants, you can't use this option. Tenants are only available if you've the correct license type and they have been configured on the Tenants page. To find out about licensing, contact your Smoothwall representative.

Show unblock controls	Displays controls on the block page that allow administrators to add domains and URLS to the custom allowed or custom blocked content categories. If you're creating a customized block page for your tenants, you can't use this option. Tenants are only available if you've the correct license type and they have been configured on the Tenants page.
Show reason for block	Displays the reason why the web request was blocked.
Show bypass controls	Displays temporary bypass controls on the block page. These controls allow users with bypass privileges to temporarily bypass the Smoothwall Filter. When a HTTPS inspection policy is turned on and a user visits a site with an invalid certificate, the Smoothwall Filter temporary bypass doesn't work. This is because the Smoothwall Filter must review the certificate before authentication information for bypass can be detected. In this case, bypass controls are visible on the block page if turned on, but do not work. If you're creating a customized block page for your tenants, you can't use this option. Tenants are only available if you've the correct license type and they have been configured on the Tenants page.
