There is also the issue of no info on my viewforum.php page, but I will post regarding that in a new topic.

To see the issue: http://www.orthopraxisforums.com/viewforum.php?id=19

What seemed to have caused this was I moved my forum from a sub directory to my root directory. It seems I can create new topics and those work and all of the info is populated, but for some reason the old info does not show. I found this topic but the solution is not clear to me. I think I have narrows the issue down to my topics table and the id field. I am just not sure how to fix this...

Any help is appreciated.

No matter what i do Bad http_referer pops up, I am with freehostia hosting, I put the folders in "http://xserm.freehostia.com/forum/" so since it says not to put the trailing slash my base url is "http://xserm.freehostia.com/forum" right? Thats what I have and it keeps bringing up that message, I have tried all the things it has said to do like cutting off my ad blocker, im using mozilla Firefox and i have avg anti-virus, is my browser or anti-virus messing it up?
any help is appricated.

Thanks guys smile

I think you might be better off linking to the punycode URL (or having the domain redirect to the punycode URL) and setting that as the base URL.
My guess is that it will work fine with PunBB 1.3, but you still might have browser issues with IDNs (not that I'm really qualified to debate the merits of that).

Do you think it could work if I put the punycode version as the base URL?
It seems that Firefox is to disable IDN support by default, perhaps I should just stop trying to use "fictional" characters as domain name hmm

I can't even access your site in Firefox (I think I turned off IDN support). The punycode version (http://www.xn--einhrjar-3za.se/forum/) works fine though.

I have had my forum pointing to my ip-adress for some time now, but has set up an domain name I want to use instead. I am browsing the forums at http://www.einhärjar.se/forum/index.php, the base url is set to http://www.einhärjar.se/forum , but I still get Bad HTTP_REFERER. I have cleared cache, double checked the base URL in the database, everything is correct. I have even tried to set the base URL to http://www.einhärjar.se/forum , but nothing works.
Could this be because my domain name contains "ä"?

Otherwise, you have duplicate content issues with the search engines (and you'll have issues with people accessing the site via multiple URLs and wondering why their sessions don't magically transfer).

Don't have any firewall software that will affect this. Nothing will work. What is this error here for anyway if it just creates all this fuss and doesn't seem to have a straight solution?

Forum address: http://www.ps3fl-forum.com/public_html/PunBB
Base URL: http://www.ps3fl-forum.com/public_html/PunBB

Tried deleting cache_config.php and still have error, hope I don't need that file as I don't know how to get it back!
Only thing not tried is looking for o_base_url in the config table of the database as I have no idea which database this refers to or how I would check it!
