Create a new style with no parent:

Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
Parent Style: No Parent Style
Title: Default vBulletin
Allow User Selection: Yes
Save

Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

I enabled changing of the templates and logged in. No problem! It worked perfectly please tell me there is a fix for this as I have spent many hours/days working on this site. Thanks!!!

And I am using vb 3.8.4 patch level 2

The fix is to upgrade your modified templates. One of the templates on that page has been modified and you didn't upgrade it to the latest version. You need to go Edit the template, click View History > Compare and add in any changes that vb added in.

Can you please be more specific. I only uploaded a new skin and started having these problems and have no clue how to do that. Please help. In simple terms. Thanks in advance Lynne!!!!

Or anyone who can help!

A skin has edited templates. If you aren't using a skin for that specific version of vb you are using, then it may not have upgraded templates. So, you need to go edit the edited templates (they are in red) and then click View History > Compare and make sure they have the security tokens in there.

Optionally, install a skin for your version.
