This happens because the checklink doesn't currently send the HTTP "Referer" header, and <http://validator.w3.org/check/referer> depends on that. If it's not present, it issues a redirect to <http://validator.w3.org/>. And checklink treats 301's as errors... kind of embarrassing. I'll look into this. To summarize, there's nothing wrong with the referrer icon link, it's a checklink "feature" you're seeing here. -- \/ille Skyttä ville.skytta at iki.fi
