The referrer check is only for domains which are allowed to make posts to your forum; unless you have another forum setup at that subdomain and want it to be able to post to your main ubb.threads install, you don't need it added to the referrer check.

My community is starting to mutiny over all the issues. frown They want UBB.c back.


Theres several things that can be at issue, not just a firewall; some people have "Internet Security Suites", Virus Scanners, and (usually) firewall's that can block items; keep in mind too that some people have no clue what they're doing and have their kids do everything for them, so that may also be an issue (whos to say their kid installed something and they have no clue its even there).

While turning this off to test is a great idea, imo keeping it off is a spam risk (which it was added to halt the spam issues that a lot of people, including me in UBB.C, where having).

Rick has pretty much explained everything though wink...
