My new message board has just gone online and one member cannot post. She has signed up and she can even send PMs but when she tries to post a message she gets the following error:

Code
  The host you are trying to send the input from is not a valid host.

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


Does anyone know what the problem probably is?

Thanks for your help.

He probably has something like Norton Firewall running. If he can turn that off, or the url validation on the forums off that should cure the problem.

Many people end up turning off the HTTP referer check, to accomodate those that don't know how to adjust the settings on their computer.

You can turn this off on your forum by adjusting the primary settings -> advanced options in the control panel.

THIS WAS THE SOLUTION. Thank you so much!!

The HTTP referer check was turned off (I think by default, but I'm not 100% sure) and I checked the box next to "Disable HTTP Referer Check?" now and it is working.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
