“Enable Referrer” not working correctly? (pixiv.net)

I have recently started disabling “Enable Referrer”, but there are some issues around it. I'm posting here because I can only confirm it for one site, pixiv.net (like Japanese deviantART). I enable “Send referrer information” just for that site, but none of the images load. Switching on “Enable Referrer” makes it work perfectly again.

Is this a bug with the special way these images are embedded or just a site specific issue? In any case, it should be looked into.

Working fine for me in Opera Next 12.00 alpha build 1105 on Windows XP+SP2.

Q: Have you created a site preference for pixiv.net or www.pixiv.net ?

Enabling referrer for "pixiv.net" as opposed to the standard "www.pixiv.net" worked. I'll keep it in mind for other sites in the future, thanks!

I'd say this behaviour is slightly user-unfriendly, though. I can see the added security for it, but I doubt that there would really be a security benefit from including "www" the majority of uses. If I edit site preferences on this page, it suggests "my.opera.com" and not "my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1114212". I'm implying that it should perhaps suggest to edit "opera.com" instead.

Sorry for the late reply (haven't checked the forums in a while).
