 Replying to [comment:1 pde]:
 > This is really weird.  Why does the recaptcha on bb.arethusa.su expect a
 referrer,

 You mean why it does _not_ expect a referrer, no? Anyway, I think what
 happened is that HTTPS-E hit a Google bug by accident. If you open
 http://bb.arethusa.su/viewforum.php?id=5 (i.e. the forum via plain HTTP)
 in a new clean profile without any add-ons and try to post a new topic
 you'll get the invalid Referer error as well.
