Please change the title subject of your thread. It is misleading and can result in unnecessary rumors.

That happens when you block the refer header.

That's not the problem... I have referers enabled... And it worked fine until this morning...

Okay, what do you have disabled? There must be something you disabled recently?

I use to get those all the time when i did things to protect my privacy. There was even one time when i set my browser to identify as " I'm a duck quack quack " just to see what sites would do.

Nope, I haven't made any config changes or installed any extensions recently...

And I just tested with my laptop (clean Edgy installation) and same thing happens!

Hmm, then i don't think it's the OS. Try looking at your router settings maybe the firewall is to high. If it's okay there, then maybe your ISP has made some changes. I'd say wait a couple of days & see if it comes back.
