So, are you complaining that you can't post to the board because *you* have set your own settings such that *you* aren't sending UBBthreads a normal HTTP_REFERER ?
If so, I think it's a bit anal to be complaining here about it. It is certainly not a "security risk" to pass HTTP_REFERER - I believe UBBt simply uses the HTTP_REFERER check to see if posts are coming from forms on its own site (protecting against casual forms on other sites setup to post to a remote UBB server for abusive or other purposes). Yes, I know it's not a great way of checking as it can be spoofed by the agent, but it'll stop the casual person.
Finally, if you (or Swamp) are that concerned, turn the damn check off:
// Do you want to disable the referer check? Only disable this if you have
// many users that are unable to post due to firewall/proxy servers
// manipulating their referer variable.
$config['disablerefer'] = "0";
And I think you owe Infopop an apology for accusing them of spying on you.
Paul.
