Thats an Excellent Idea.<br /><br />I think I'm going to "hack" mine to link to the How To poss I have on my site for fixing the firewall etc.... <br /><br />Thanks. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

omegatron, is that test still failing for you?

Issues:<br /><br />1) Currently, the test-cookie set by the script has an expiration date/time of five minutes from "now". I'm wondering if that could cause problems if the user's clock is off a bit. Or maybe if that does cause the test to fail, it means that the test script is doing what it should. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />2) I'm also thinking of adding a test for server date/time vs. client date/time. I'm not sure how to do this, but maybe Javascript could be used to read the client's clock. If I can get this working, what "tolerance" do you think should be used to distinguish pass/fail?<br /><br />3) I think I'm going to add some more info to the displayed results, to aid in diagnosing test failures.

I just uploaded a new version (1.1.0) that has additional tests and a separate configuration file, which makes it easier to customize the displayed header and footer.

In the new version my referer also fails everything else passes.

1) Are you running the Browser Check script on the same server that your UBB.threads is on?<br /><br />2) In your UBB.threads configuration settings, do you have "Do you want to disable the referer check?" set to (a) "No, always check referer" or (b) "Yes, disable this check." ?

New Version is Cool Dave! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Referer is no always preform check and my browser check script is run from the same server<br />

Could you try this?<br /><br />Edit browser_check.php and in function do_page3() at line 216, change:<br /><pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr>$results_display<br />$clock_comparison_display<br /><p><b>Click <a href='{$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']}'>HERE</a> to repeat the tests.</b></pre><hr><br />to<br /><pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr>$results_display<br />$clock_comparison_display<br />[:"red"]<p>referrer='{$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_REFERER']}'<br /><br />referrer_should_be='$referrer_should_be'</p>[/]<br /><p><b>Click <a href='{$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']}'>HERE</a> to repeat the tests.</b></pre><hr><br /><br />Then copy/paste the output here, or send it to me privately.<br /><br />Thanks. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br />

Thanks, got your PM, the info was helpful.<br /><br />It's interesting that on your server, the query string portion of HTTP_REFERER was not passed.<br /><br />I guess I'll need to make the referrer test more flexible.<br /><br />One question: When you're viewing the postlist for a specific board within your UBB.threads, or viewing a specific thread, and you click the Search link, does it default to searching that specific board? UBB.threads (6.1.1) seems to use the query string portion of HTTP_REFERER to figure out which board to search, so I would think that would fail.

Nope not at all. When I click search it defaults to the forum I am viewing when viewing both a thread or postlist of the specific forum. Dave I gor your private message. I beleive I answered above. To be even more clear if I am in reefs and hit search I get reefs not all forums.

Sorry for not repliying earlier, I just noticed your reply.<br /><br />Hmmmm .... I don't understand how the search can behave like that with the referrer test failing.<br /><br />But I've updated the script to version 1.2.0, in which I've split the referrer test into three tests. In your case, I would expect the first two referrer tests to pass, and the third to fail. The third test can be disabled in the config file if desired.

Updated to version 1.2.1. This is basically just a cosmetic fix.
