I get this message when using the "Mark forums read" quick link:

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.

Contacting the administrator did not help that much so far (no reply ATM). Logging out and back in does not change anything.

Has anyone else had this problem ? (and fixed it ?)

I just tried it on the General Addons forum, using Firefox 4, and had no issues.

_ForgeUser1183860 · Jun 6, 2011

Had the same problem for some time, but it was gone suddenly, so i assumed the error got fixed...

Farmbuyer · Jun 6, 2011

I've been getting this for more than a week, even after doing all the typical workarounds. Using the "inform the administrator" link apparently went into a black hole.

The explanation and server-side fix that needs to be applied is

Same here. /sadtanuki

morgalm · Jun 7, 2011

Same here also I can't even sign in on my second computer anymore.

Sygon_Paul · Jun 7, 2011

Almost a day later, and I still don't see this error. Could it be a browser issue rather than a site issue?

OttoDeFe · Jun 7, 2011

No - I get it on Chrome and Firefox and on multiple machines. I also get the same error on TSW forums, but have for months.

Adirelle · Jun 7, 2011

Got it on at least two computers there, both with FF4. I also just tested Epiphany (Gnome web browser), same issue.

However, as Farmbuyer pointed out, it's a server-side issue regarding custom templates. I think we should open some ticket somewhere.

Torhal · Jun 7, 2011

I brought it to Kaelten's attention - it's slated to be worked on sometime soon-ish.

Farmbuyer · Jul 7, 2011

Any word on this?

_ForgeUser109408 · Jul 7, 2011

I've taken to using the "mark forums read" button at the bottom of the forums main window, which actually works. 8)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks to me like these forums and the curseforge forums are actually the same, just with a different face. It's been a while since I checked, but as I recall, the same error appears there.

Adirelle · Jul 7, 2011

Thanks for the tip. I was actually trying to use the link in the "Quick Links" dropdown, and the link you are describing doesn't exist in the "new posts" page. I think that link is some kind of standard one and has been updated when vBulletin has been updated, in contrary to the dropdown one.

_ForgeUser109408 · Jul 7, 2011

No, it's not on the "new posts" page. After I look at that page, I just click on "Forums" in the top menu.

funkehdude · Jul 28, 2011

The dropdown issue is apparently resolved now.

Adirelle · Jul 28, 2011

Yes it is.

Now I have to figure why the dropdown opens in the middle of the page:

Been seeing that for quite some time, actually. At first, I just thought it was some odd issue with Opera, but I'm pretty sure that I've seen it in other browsers since.

Farmbuyer · Jul 29, 2011

Huh. I thought it was only me.

_ForgeUser109408 · Jul 29, 2011

Happens in Firefox on Mac, and I think in Safari too.

Adirelle · Jul 29, 2011

I thought it was because I forced some "big" number of minimal font size (12) and default font size (16). But when I remove the minimal font size and set the default to 9 it still happens. Firefox zoom doesn't change it either.

Edit: Having enabled Firebug, I see that the dropdow is positionned using "absolute" style with pixel values. Not sure if and how it was calculated or fixed. However this explains why the font size doesn't change it.
