Posting without referrer headers possible ?

As already mentioned while introducing me,
your forum requires a referrer header for posting.

If I happen to not send them,
this means I have to activate them in my browser,
post my message, and then deactivate them again.

I do not know yet if FluxBB would in general work
without referrer headers, but if so,
would you please be so kind and switch them of ?

I don't know either.  My understanding is that the forum structure is a standard that any forum can use.  Administrator controls do not extend to varying this, so I couldn't do this even if I knew how.

I am not aware that the forum 'collects' any sensitive info from posters.  You have to give an email.  You can 'hide' this from members but not from admin/mods.

hi John John,

This was new to me. Try 'googling' referrer headers.
