I have a poll (non-UBB) on one of my Websites at http://www.azpolls.org/fillsurvey.php?sid=2 . I have it set to automatically transfer the voter to a spcific board ( http://www.onelung.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=31&page=1 ) on my UBB forum after they vote. When I test it, it loads my forum, but gives an "access denied..." error. The boards permissions allow guests to "read" the board. Going straight to the UBB forum address above works fine. It just doesn't work when my polling software makes the automatic transfer. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

do you have referrer checking enabled? if so, you'll need to add azpolls.org as a valid referrer.. possibly

Thanks for your reply. First I added http://www.azpolls.org to my list of HTTP referrers and it didn't work. Then I disabled the HTTP Referred check and it still doesn't work. I can't figure out why, but it works if you paste the url into the browser or click it as a text link.

The polling software ( chumpsoft.com ) allows you to input a URL that you want the voter sent to after they vote. I imputted the url to that specific UBB board.
It IS going to the correct URL, but it gives the access denied error instead of displaying the list of topics like it should.

UPDATE: I created an interface HTML file with the following javascript code as a redirect. Now the transfer works without error. I posted the code below in case anyone else has the problem. <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
window.location="http://www.onelung.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=31&page=1";
// -->
</script>

ok, i created a little redir guy, just to see if i can redir to your thread. works fine. it's called bleh.php: Linky Poocontents:
<?php
header('Location: http://www.onelung.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=31&page=1');
?>
so, dunno how they are redirecting to your site.. but you could get sneaky on them.. upload bleh.php to your root and have the poll redirect to bleh.php just a thought

Yes, we did have the same idea. ha!
I am still curious as to why the direct link gives the "access denied" error. Oh well. At least it works.
Thanks for the help.
I list the poll in the general category of craigs list and when people vote, it takes them to my forum. It's a pretty good way to get new members. :-)

i'll bet it's not a true redirect. more like they are doing an fsocket open and reading the stream before 'letting go'
maybe doing some mining while they 'redir'
dunno :shrug:
