Thank You Lynne, i followed Your advice and this is what i got from my hosting provider:

You receive 'Access Denied' page, but it is not '403 Access denied' error page, it is a proper page with '200 OK' server message.
Access must be denied on a CMS level somewhere.

We took our time to investigate the issue, but did not succeed as well.
Actions we tried:

-Renaming .htaccess files to disable them (both in public_html folder and user folder)
-Adding 'define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);' to config.php file
-Removing and adding privileges to edit-delete posts for admin user
-Removing and adding with ALL privileges mysql user to the database
-Disabling all active plugins
-Disabling all styles except default one.

Nothing helped, unfortunately. Though, Access Denied is not a 403 error message and this might be worth mentioning to vbulletin community at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...69#post2427569 , perhaps they will have further ideas.

You said this happened just a couple of days ago - did you ask your host if they changed anything on the server a couple of days ago?

If you have the vB4 suite or ticket support, I'd suggest putting in a ticket.

Thank You, but i dont have ticket support and my hosting provider did not changed anything on that account. Moreover, other vbulletin forums with same setup works, its just this one forum.

Shows text message on the blank page: "Access denied." when trying to moderate posts.

What to do to track the cause please?

If you login to members area on vb ie: the same place you download the vb software you will see the option to put in a support ticket

"the problem was me I didn't pay attention to version numbers so I had a file that was for the update and i was still running a previous version"

Please how can i check version numbers and what files? I remember i really might put some files from other version because my site was corupted by facebook manual mod. But i dont remember which files.

// EDIT: install/upgrade.php can show it
When i run above file, it showed files i coppied from other vbulletin script version...

What i did now? Basically i replaced /includes/functions.php with right version file from vBulletin and also whole "modcp" directory by original files (backup first). And it started working. Im sorry for my fault. i hope it helped someone save time(

--SOLVED-- peace
