I just tried to test out my newly installed forums and got this message when I tried to post a new topic using FireFox. I did't get this message with Explorer and was able to post successfully :

UBB 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.

Please use your back button to return to the previous page.

I also turned the firewall on my computer off and got the same message.

You're right, I had left the www out. I just put in the www and tried again to access from http://www.mysite.tld and got the same message. Maybe I could clear my cookies? Any suggestions?

[edit] I just cleared out my cookie and still go the same message in Firefox

CP -> Master Settings -> Primary Settings -> General Tab -> Advanced Options; what are the values for "Domains for HTTP Referrer Check"
