I've avoided posting this so as not to bother anyone, but I'm no longer able to post on the forums from work. I can post in the shouts, PMs and Chat, but I can't post to the forums, 2016 Fiction & the OPNet 2016 are my main concerns. I haven't tested other forums but I see no reason it should be different.

When I try I get the following error:
The host from which you are accessing the board is not recognized as a valid host. This is more than likely related to a firewall issue that is blocking the referer variable. Check your firewall settings and try again.

Please use your back button to return to the previous page.


I've tried different browsers in case it was a browser issue (though I hadn't thought it was) and there was no difference. I can't exactly ask our IT Dept to change the firewall settings since this isn't work related... blush

It worked fine with the old forums, is there a change you can make on the forum software that would let me post again? My free time at home has evaporated right now & posting from work is much easier. If not, it's not the end of the world.

Thanks

Truth be told, that does indeed sound like a firewall issue. I'd say that your IT folks have probably decided to block sites that include various "terminology"... and there's not a whole lot of "terminology" that hasn't been used at one time or another on N!Prime.

If that is the case, changes to the site (short of stripping it down and censoring the heck out of it) won't help.

Better late than never..the IT department is likely blocking uncertified scripts, which this new software is full of. Not technically uncertified but newly certified enough so that the IT do not have them allowed.
A similar things happened to me when I updated te saftware on my site; all of a sudden my laptop provided by work could not view my portal page and it prevented me from posting.

Glad to see it seems to be worked out Lou Ann.
