[Discuss] Expired Token?

**Krafty** · 07-24-2009, 02:54 AM

Was on the forum and left my browser open when i left came back and hit refresh and i received this:

I did hit back and reload and still happened. I restarted my browser and everything was o.k again. Just wanted to bring this to the attention of the admins

you should keep watch over your token more carefully. maybe it won't expire that way

lol.

What was you doing at the time, or rather what page was you on - sounds whatever you was doing at the time created a session which expired, but the only way to clear that session was to leave the page and re-open it (Which you did by closing and opening your browser)

I've had that happen to me before what I was posting something, I had to leave, and when I came back and submitted it gave me that message.

It's a security method, I guess your session expires after a certain amount of inactive time. Seems acceptable enough.

Usually I just save my post, go to the forum homepage and then back to the forum and repost again, I don't find it a big hassle.

yeah i'd figure it was a security thing.
its weird cause if my computer is on, i have this site minimized and i've never got that message.

Solution for admins:

Style is prolly for older version than this vB

so you should do this:

replace all those values (all style's templates)

Code:

value="$session[sessionhash]"

With:

Code:

value="$session[sessionhash]"
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]"

EDIT:

My solution is prolly for missing token, ups

I did post something before i walked away and when i went back to the thread i had double posted but only submitted once, maybe when i hit reload before i closed the browser it posted it twice? No biggie just deleted my double post and went back to business as usual.
