Hi, as the admin of my forum I tried uploading an avatar 150x200 from my computer and all I get when I try to save changes is "Error 2252 | Please contact to forum admin."

What can I do to be able to successfully upload an avatar without this coming up?

Thanks.

Edit: Heck I could upload the avatar here so something is definitely wrong.

This error says there is no referrer page when you submit the form. Something is irregular with your server or with your browser. HTTP_REFERER is not detected on your website. Here are the cases why this issue may happen:

  • visited the site by a browser-maintained bookmark.
  • switched from a https URL to a http URL.
  • switched from a https URL to a different https URL.
  • has security software installed (antivirus/firewall/etc) which strips the referrer from all requests.
  • is behind a proxy which strips the referrer from all requests.
  • visited the site programmatically (like, curl) without setting the referrer header (searchbots!).

Also you can use this method to disable the error:
