Error when adding new refferer

Client Joined: Apr 15, 2003 Posts: 466 Location: FL

I've just noticed this, since I've suddenly had a bunch of blocks by Sentinel. I cannot add a new listing to the blocked referred list. I recieve a forbidden and 403 error when I try.
Montego just found some stuff in my database that was messed up during an update....I'm hoping for such good luck with this.
I've searched and not found anything in the forums, but I coulda missed it. If I'm posting for no reason, please shove me in the direction of the correct thread.

Deseroka, is this in the right forum? Should I move this under the 2.5.x forum?

BTW, I am confused as to this:

All you sent me was a NS block email. The only thing that I can suggest there is check to make sure in the Forums admin that you do not have "Enable account activation" turned on.

Other than that, with the info you gave me, there isn't much else I can gleem from it.

No, I'm not running 2.5, but I know I should be.
This is something I noticed after sending you that block. I've had some referrers coming from those link grabber sites, you know the ones that sell pills, insurance, whatever, they just got tons of links...So I was gonna add them to my refferrer blocks, but it won't work. I was hoping it would be as simple as my last problem.

Ok, now I understand. Now, I don't remember the exact versions and I do not have time to check, but the older 2.4.x branch this worked and then one of the later pl releases plugged up an exploit hole that was wreaking havoc all over the place, but this caused the referrer function (block) to throw NS errors. This was fixed in 2.5.x (again, do not recall which) where NS now has its own referrer logging.

Ah, so there is my problem I guess. Thanks Montego! You are invaluable!
