My friends and I have started using my XOOPS page and they are adoring it's functionality =) There is one problem, however, a user is having, that I don't know how to correct. Everyone is able to post to the Forums except for her. When she tries to post a message, it tells her it cannot be added to the forums. I have logged on to her user name and have posted sucessfully. She still could not.. I deleted her from the system and had her re-register -- she still cannot post. I suspect it may be a browser setting. Can anyone please give me some insight so she can be an active member of our community?

dude..
i got the exact problem as yours and until today i can't solve it.

I suspected the is a problem with the user's comp. Maybe firewall settings or cookie thingy.

Definitely sounds like a firewall problem.

If XOOPS cannot access the HTTP Referrer (which most software firewalls block if not on a "trusted" site) it will not allow database changes such as forum posts.

I have had her check security settings in her browser and her trusted sites and everything else. She used a computer from school and was able to access the site perfectly. She doesn't understand what a firewall is so she can't tell me if she has one or not lol..
I really don't know what to tell her. I have checked her browser version with her.. she is using Win XP though, which has a built in firewall right? She says she's never had a problem posting to a board before now though. I checked to make sure I didn't do something stupid like block her IP address. Everyone else is working just fine.. she works fine from another computer. just not hers.
Can someone tell me where I could possibly get information on how to check her firewall?
