UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads Installation and Upgrade Support Firewall Settings

Hello,

A number of my users are complaining at receiving the following message when they try to post:

"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."

Can you offer any further advice in regards this issue?

Thanks,
Dave

Select Disable HTTP Referer Check? under Primary Settings - > advanced settings to disable the referer check....

ought to say that otherwise - users will need to adjust their firewall settings if this is not disabled.

Thankyou!

[insert my bable that if your site suffers mass spam postings it is because you disabled this option vs having users adjust their firewalls and add all of the possible urls users can post from (multiple domain names) in the validation box]
