Security Token Problem

[Devil Woman]

I have recently started getting this error message on my forum which has been picked up from using the mark forums read feature

Your 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.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

To troubleshoot this, please remove any hacks and disable your plugins, then see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

If so, reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.

If your problem still exists, please create a new Style with no Parent set. Now browse the forum using this new style, do you still have the same problems? If you are troubleshooting login or guest issues, you will need to set this style as board default in the vBulletin Options.

I haven't changed anything at all in the settings which I would expect to change this however I do now have when registering now the image verification mod aswell as image verification from ReCaptcha, could they cause any problems?

Check the templates of the used skin where this happens and - for this particular problem - link should be:

forumdisplay.php?do=markread

Or just searching for "do=markread" then comparing this template with the one from the default skin adding the securitytoken JS function (if missing) and correcting the link.
