We are getting this message when a user click the "Mark Forums Read" option. We are running VB 3.87

our submission could not be processed because a security token was invalid.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

Anyone know how to correct this ?

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?

Which "mark forum read" link are you using?

You will need to chk the template the link is on via the page, its missing the security token info in the newer template.

To find the template to modify, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. (Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.)

I enabled that and I cant seem to find where it calls any templates? I looked throughout and no luck . VB Settings says it should show up at the top or bottom but all I see its this at the top
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en"> <head> <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" /> <script type="text/javascript">

When you enable template names in html via vb, it shows them in multiple locations in the page source, you have to view the page source

When your on the forumdisplay page, your using the mark forums read from the quick links i would assume, is your forumdisplay template default or modified?

Yes I did look at the page source and did not see it? Can you tell me what I I should be looking for ? Maybe an oversight on my part

Yes I am using the mark forums read from the quick linksm forumhome is modified.

I was asking about the forumdisplay template, not forumhome.

I assume also that your navbar template is also modified & missing the security token info:


td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread&amp;markreadhash=$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a></td>

Verify the code above in your navbar template.

OK I think the issue is that when we replaced our default nav menu we have the incorrect url to the Mark Forum Read" feature currently the link points to http://www.oursite.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?do=markread

I think that is incorrect.. Do you know what the URL link should really point to ? I have looked at one of our default templates that contains the original nav memu and the link points to
http://www.oursite.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?do=markread&markreadhash=1369167240-e47feba18e888a10c4e34c44ca8c9dc38c7e225f

I know the hash is randomly generated so I cant add that

The proper code is in my previous post or simply view the default template in the style.
