Reality TV World Message Board Forums
PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

My husband installed a software firewall on our home computer which was preventing me from posting. It also prevented me from accessing my User Profile. Can you tell me which ports we need to open to prevent these problems. Thanks!

1. "RE: Firewall"
It's actually not a port, it's what they call a HTTP HEADER named HTTP_REFERER.

Some firewalls apparently are starting to strip it out for some reason (which is unfortunate in our case, because they are used for security to allow the message boards to make sure you're posting from a webpage inside the system and not spamming the boards through some kind of automated spam email-like thing.)

Here's a link to another site that uses our same message board software where they show how to address the problem in Norton's Internet Security/Firewall product:
