View Full Version : vB 3.6.1 - ACP won't let me do certain things

Hey,
I wrote a large hack for my site a couple months ago when we were on 3.5.4, to redo the profile system. This included an admincp file for managing my hack... we just upgraded to 3.6.1 yesterday and now I'm trying to use my admincp file but am getting this error:
To continue this action, login using the admin account that intiated the action.
This has an accompanying login screen. I log in, but it is useless... it says "Thank you for logging in, Krofh", and then brings me right back to the same login screen.
I don't know if this was specifically something with 3.6.1 or if it also occurred in 3.6.0, because I haven't touched the ACP part of this hack in the last month. I have absolutely no idea what causes this, and any help would really be appreciated. Thanks.

An extra security check was added in 3.6 called the adminhash, and this value needs to be present in any [ACP] POST requests. Study some of the default ACP code to learn more.

Ohhh, thanks Paul. I never figured it out, and shall definitely look into it.
