("") Reply #34 - May 16^th, 2007 at 2:02pm According to a couple of recent entries made to the database this is still a problem. I have noticed that when the address is entered as http://saynoto0870.com/ (i.e. without the www bit) it comes back with that "dissallowed http referer" error. Temporary solution is to insert www. into the URL.

Apologies for the delay in getting this resolved, it turned out to be a lot trickier than I originally expected.

I made a change yesterday which I am hoping has resolved this issue.

We have tested it several times, and are now unable to replicate the previous problem.

If anyone still has problems, please can they let us know.

Thanks
Daniel

The form is shown, but when I click submit, I'm told that I didn't enter the verification code - even though I did. Several attempts result in the same error.

This fix is for Firefox users only.

I managed to find the fault, in my Firefox about:config settings, I had enabled network.http.sendRefererHeader=0 , this stops websites from knowing the last webpage I was on. I enabled this setting, as a security procedure to stop websites tracking me all over the internet.

When I changed this setting back to the default network.http.sendRefererHeader=1 , then the Contact Us button works again. But I searched for a fix as I shouldn't have to lower my security settings just to get this website to work.

And I found an easy work around for this, it's to install a Firefox extension, RefControl. It's found at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/953 . You need to install this, reload Firefox and then go to Tools -> RefControl Options , then click Add Site, and type in saynoto0870.com . In the Action section, click the Custom: radio button, and type in "1" (without the "") into the text box. Now click OK, and look for the Edit button to the right of the "Default for site's not listed", click it and in the Action section click on the radio button for "Block - send no referer".

This will keep the referer blocked on all other websites, but enable it for Saynoto0870.com. I personally did this and now both the "Contact Us" and also the "Click here to Add an new Telephone number" links work.

When you visit a webpage under certain circumstances your browser will pass on the website address of the site you were just visiting - known as referral information.

The database has been suffering from a lot of automated spam recently and as such Daniel, site admin, has recently introduced new things to try and stop this. The most noticable one was the introduction of a verification code which is commonly found on a lot of things these days along with only allowing entries to be added providing users only accessed it via normal methods (ie clicking on it from the main page).

That's understandable, but there must be a better way. I'm not prepared to lower my security settings or add FF extensions (I keep extensions to a minimum, having had various FF problems caused by them). Why is it that I can place orders on all sorts of websites, do online banking, contribute to various blogs, etc, but can't add a new number to sayno? It's very frustrating that I've wanted to add several alternative numbers over the last 9 months, but have had to keep them to myself.

("") Reply #40 - Nov 23^rd, 2007 at 11:52pm If you are still having problems with submitting numbers, you could also make a post in the Geographic Requests forum and a member or admin can add them to the database for you. Not being able to submit them yourself should not be a reason to keep them off .

MrGumby Newbie Offline Posts: 6	Re: Disallowed HTTP Referer! ("") Reply #41 - Nov 24^th, 2007 at 12:02am OK. Thanks. For many months until today, I haven't even been able to access the forum, but now I'm back in. From now on, I'll use the Geographic Requests forum, as you suggest, when I have new numbers. Sadly, I didn't keep a record of those I wanted to add earlier.

Hi - is someone messing with the site?!? When I try to access the Add a Number page (http://www.saynoto0870.com/add.php) I get the following error:

"An error occured while trying to access the 'Add a new alternative number' page.

Please click here to try again

If this error persists, please contact us quoting the following error message in full:

Disallowed HTTP Referer! ("") "

I get the same "Disallowed HTTP Referer! ("") " when trying to access the Contact Us page (http://www.saynoto0870.com/contact/)
