Okay, I realise that it's no big deal to allow these referes but, from the non-technical point of view of the average joe blogs, any such warning or error message is worrying and is likely to mean a lost member to the site.
In addition, many office users do not have access to the company firewall settings - does this mean they are excluded?
That being said, I'm not personally intending to turn mine off (even if I knew how) but, just so's I understand, I'd assumed that the information gets sent to the server, so that the server knows you are a member of the site and then lets you view the page. So if you turn off the http referer, does that mean your site is a free for all and membership is therefore irrelevant. If not, then I've missed the point and don't see why you need the referer in the first place - can somebody please explain?
Now to my actual problem. I am using Norton 2006 and have set it up to allow referal headers etc from my site. From my initial login, I get taken to the "why am I being re-directed here" page. However, this is unesscary as I can then proceed to view all pages and make posts etc. Did I miss something?
