Issues:

Reference Blocking
Some users have experienced problems with taking the training or reporting their completion due to firewall/security software issues. Basically, they (or their ISP) are using software that blocks the referring address. This is not an actual security issue (one cannot use this information to do any harm to a user), though some users feel it is a matter of privacy and wish to prevent sites from knowing where they came from.

However, preventing the YPT site from knowing where a user comes from makes it impossible to determine which council a user should be reported to. Users who enter without a referring address will receive an "Error Type 3" screen.

We have not yet found a solution that will enable users who encounter this problem to report completion without jeaopardizing system security.

If the user cannot disable the software, there is no way for them to complete the training online.
