"Link Behaviour" is basically tabs versus windows. A referrer is
information that a browser sends when following links or picking up
images to the site where the file is being requested, telling it where
the browser came from. I use RefControl to block third party
referrers, since they are normally not needed, and I do not think one
website needs to know where I came from if I came from a different host.
On our Website, we fill our database with a lot of stupid entries ...
this was caused by spammers who copy a page of one of our form into
their host, modify it then use it a lot.
The "referer" was our solution to stop the fill of our database because
we test: If the referer is not from our site, then discard.
This is a case of one website NEEDS TO KNOW where you came from.
Ray, when you talk about are "referer", are you talking about an Add-On
to SM or is it a totally seperate function??
Like Alexandre, I cannot say I've ever heard of SM having a "referer"
function. If it does have such a function, where do I find it??
