| by T-Tech on 2004/8/5 3:56:23 Ok I know this is an old post, but I ran into this very problem and have found the solution and thought I would share. For security reasons, when you post a reply etc, the site checks that you have actually come from a page on the forum using what is called a HTTP_REFERER. This ensures that database entries can only come from the right page, and stops any external scripts (and would-be-if-they-could-be hackers)from entering info from souces OTHER than the forum reply page itself. Unfortunately, some firewall and web filtering software, such as some versions of Zone Alarm, block HTTP_REFERER's by default. # Disable WebWasher Standard Filter/URL Filter # Disable any "ad blocking" software # Disable any Pop-up blockers ---------------------------------------------------------- Zone Alarm Pro: 1. Click Privacy 2. Click Cookie Control 3. Click Custom 4. Uncheck "remove private header information" ---------------------------------------------------------- Windows XP's Internal Firewall 1. Open XP's Control Panel 2. Double-click Networking and Internet Connections 3. Select Network Connections 4. Right-click on the connection to disable, then select Properties 5. On the Advanced tab, clear the Protect my computer or network checkbox 6. Press OK ---------------------------------------------------------- Norton Internet Security 2002 (or earlier) 1. Open NIS or NPF. 2. Click Options. 3. Click Internet Security or Personal Firewall. (This step is not always needed.) The Options window appears. 4. Click Advanced Options. 5. Click the Web tab. 6. Click Add Site. A new site/domain box appears. 7. Enter http://www.88wp.com and click OK. The site name now appears in the left frame of the Advanced Options window. 8. Click the name of the new site. 9. Click the Privacy tab. 10. Check the "Use these rules for..." box. 11. Change the Referrer from "Block" to "Permit." 12. Click Apply, and then click OK. 13. Click OK to close the Options window. ---------------------------------------------------------- Norton Internet Security 2003/2004 1. Open NIS or NPF. 2. Do one of the following. * In NIS/NPF 2003, click Options > Internet Security or Personal Firewall (This step is not always needed), and then click the Web Content tab. * In NIS/NPF 2004, double-click Privacy Control, and then click Advanced. 3. Click Add Site. A new site/domain box appears. 4. Enter http://www.88wp.com and click OK. The site name now appears in the left frame of the Options window. 5. Click the name of the new site. 6. Click the Global Settings tab. 7. In the "Information about visited sites" section, clear "Use default settings." 8. Click Permit. 9. Click OK to close the Options window. ---------------------------------------------------------- Techincal Information about HTTP_REFERER's (for the geeks who care) When you click a Web page, your browser notes the current page that you are on and sends that information to the server of the new Web page. This way, the server for the new Web page knows the last Web page that you viewed. For example, if you are on http://www.symantec.com and click http://www.microsoft.com , the browser sends http://www.microsoft.com the information that you are currently viewing http://www.symantec.com. If you block referrer information, the server of the page you are requesting to see does not know what page you saw last. By default, Norton Internet Security (NIS) and Norton Personal Firewall (NPF) block this information. Some Web sites require this information before they allow you to see their pages. |

| by David_Topping on 2003/9/16 3:31:30 Just FYI I am running XOOPS2, and I just checked the tables and they all seem to be ok. I just e-mailed catzwolf with all the data he asked for, if you let me know your e-mail I can send it to you too. |

David, sorry, I guess I missed that in the last thread. You posted some other message from phpmyadmin which I did not understand because I've never seen it before. If I run 'check table xoops_bb_posts' from MySQL command line or phpmyadmin, I get the following output: Quote:
If there is a problem, I see something about how many rows are indexed and how many rows of data there are. If there's a problem, run the query 'repair table xoops_bb_posts' and then 'check table xoops_bb_posts' to see if it worked. It could potentially be a problem with *ANY* of the newbb tables (xoops_bb_categories, xoops_forum_access, xoops_forum_mods, xoops_bb_forums, xoops_bb_posts, xoops_bb_posts_text, xoops_bb_topics, but it is probably one of the last three. |

Your php and MySQL version info and email myself and Mvandam a dump of these database tables. You can do this via phpmyadmin. xoops_bb_forums xoops_bb_posts |
