Tech note FS1410

Description
FlashStats is showing bad referrers that don't exist.

Answer
FlashStats will occasionally show as a bad referrer a page that doesn't have a bad link to your site. This is caused by someone using a browser which doesn't implement the REFERER field correctly. This used to be a big problem with past generations of browsers, but the major ones on the market today usually handle things correctly. However, it is not unusual to see a bogus entry every now and then.
