Error message

[alan]

Hi again..
.
When I hit the "Mark as Read" button 9 times out of 10 I get the following error:-
.
"Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again."
.
Any ideas please?

Hi Alan,

Possibly a cookie problem?  Do you have cookies enabled in your browser, and have you allowed the IDNetters cookie to be permanently stored?

[alan]

Thanks for quick reply Simon... Yes cookies shown to accept all. I get the warning
on both the Laptop and PC..
.

[Simon]

It's odd that nobody else has reported this, which could indicate a browser issue.

Can anyone else replicate this error?

[Simon]

Alan, can you try logging out, then removing the cookie, and logging back in again, so it sets a new one?  Might just do it.

[Rik]

I can't think of anything else, Simon, and as you say, no-one else has reported the problem. What browser are you using, Alan?

[alan]

Well I was using FF 2.0.0.11...  Still getting the rejection in there. Tried in IE7
pressed "Mark as Read" and they cleared no problem. So it must be something in FF?
.

[Rik]

Odd, Alan, I use FF with no problems though, tbh, I never mark stuff as read - I read everything.

What addons are you using?

[Inactive]

I use FF as well, never come across that before, and I do mark stuff as " read ", often.

[Rik]

Thanks, In. Do you use many addons?

[Inactive]

A couple, smiley extra and spelling checker.

[alan]

"Mostly Crystal" and "Noia 2(Extreme). Come to think of it I will uninstall both of them. Forgot I had them on there. I'll go back to FF default and see if it makes a difference.

[Rik]

Thanks, Alan. It's the only variable that I can think of.

[alan]

Taken Add ons off... Logged off then went into Announcements page in FF

Tried IE7 got the same rejection..

[Rik]

I'm wondering whether it could be a firewall issue, Alan, as it now seems to be affecting your machine rather than a browser. What security are you using, AV, firewall and malware? Which OS version?

[alan]

NOD 32 3.0.621... Ah.. Come to think of it you might be correct...  Getting the same on PC and Laptop.

[Rik]

It's the only thing I can think of right now, Alan, but I'll do some digging and see if I can find anything specific on the SMF forums.

[alan]

Many Thanks Rik.

[Rik]

Can you try again now, Alan?

[alan]

They cleared in FF but not in IE7 that time..

[Rik]

I've changed a server setting which is supposed to resolve this problem. Give me a minute to take another look and then could your try again please?

[Simon]

Alan, did it make any difference replacing the cookie, like I suggested earlier?  Also, strangely, clearing the cache can often work wonders.

[Simon]

Or, as Rik said. 

[alan]

Simon.. I replaced the cookie but did not clear the cache..
Will try that now.

[alan]

Cleared all the cookies in IE7 and now appears to working.. I've actually ran out of stuff to mark as read to try it. .
