Hi guys,

I was trying to use the Mark Forums Read option just now (approx 21:10GMT) and get the following:

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.

I've tried the links at the top and bottom of the forum, tried logging out, killing my cookies, and even tried Chrome instead of IE8.

It's not the end of the world, but I figured it better to let you know rather than keep it secret.

Mike, thanks for reporting this. There was apparently a bug in the new point release of vBulletin we just upgraded to. Should be fixed now!

Hi Jenn,

almost fixed. I just did the same thing and got the same error message. But I hit "Back" on my browser, re-pressed te "Mark All Forums Read" link and it did it successfully.

So I then looked at the screen it gave me back and this was the 1st message in view!

So your fix is a two stage one, but does at least then point the reader to the answer to what is happening! Congrats.

Cheers, Ian

Ah, I missed a spot, should have all three links fixed now.

Jenn, Chris,

This error seems to have returned this morning (from at least 7am UK time today).

Just letting you know!

I get this error as well and have seen it for a couple of days now.

I saw this thread one minute after i posted a mail about it to Chris.

Update:

It seems to be just the link at the bottom of the forum pages. The one under "Quick Links" works fine for me.

That worked for me as well. :)

I did notice that the link at the bottom of the page and the Quick Link to mark everything as read leads to two different places. Dont know if thats the issue, but in other forums they link to the same adress and not two different adresses. :)
