Bug (RZ): "The host you are trying to send the ..

[beebware]

A new member to this marvellous forum has just sent me the following private message:

I am a new user on www.resource-zone.com public forum. Every time I try to post a question, I get an error message that says:

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

Do you know what I am doing wrong or how I can fix this problem.

They can obviously log-in correctly (and the cookie being passed correctly between client and server), but what else could be preventing them from posting? And how can it be fixed...

Sounds like the browser the user is using isn't sending the referrer, and the forum won't accept a post that isn't from resource-zone, as checked through the referrer.

Yep. If your browser doesn't return a valid header you won't be able to post.

So, did you lose anything with RZ being down yesterday?

Great job of getting it back up and running <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Here's a solution to allow cookies from ODP through Norton Internet Security. Just copy and past in the address-field.
