I've successfully installed and begun to configure my board. Then, my first post gives me the following error:

"The host from which you are accessing the board is not recognized as a valid host. This is more than likely related to a firewall issue that is blocking the referer variable. Check your firewall settings and try again."

Anyone see this before?

Yeh, the fix is:
1. Add all hosts users can access your forum FROM to the referrer area.
2. Disable the referrer check.

So, I think that this is a joke, but in my ignorance I'm not sure. If it is a joke, and IF I get the joke (and I think I do), it is wicked funny. $\:D$
