Topic: Bad HTTP Referer

I got the bad http referer for the first time today. It has never happened before, and so I checked my admin options, and the base url was right, and I even copied it and pasted it into the url and tried it again, still no luck. So I switched browsers over to Mozilla from IE, and there was no more bad http referer problem. I'm glad everything works, but I went back to IE, and still no luck, so it seems if I want to do anything admin related I have to do it through mozilla. Anybody know why this would be?

Re: Bad HTTP Referer

Have you altered your Internet Explorer settings in any way? Perhaps installed some "security" software?

Re: Bad HTTP Referer

Not recently that I know of. I don't know what could be the problem. And today, it wouldn't let me log off, very strange. I guess I'll have to switch over to mozilla until I get to the bottom of this.

Could it be zone alarm? The only problem with that is I've had zone alarm way before I installed punbb.

Re: Bad HTTP Referer

Start by clearing your cookies. Then try disabling Zone Alarm.
