I have one member that gets this message when he tries to post. It seems no one else does. Any ideas??

Nevermind, I think I found the answer using the search,duh.

Hey, All.

I tried what is stated in the link you provided and still have that issue.. is there anything else that could be causing it?

Thanks,

It also seems like the only ones that can post are the admins of the site..??

which is odd..

Thanks

I didn't think there was an option to turn cookies off.

There isn't.

I am having the same issue. I just did a fresh install and I get this when posting or trying to send a private message. Some users have also said they get it when registering. I did the fix in the FAQ's but it hasn't helped.

You need to make sure you close your browser cache and cookie, close the browser and re-open.

Edited by me to correct typo

I cleared out everything and I'm still having problems.

I am having same problem, tried Raven's fix but did not work. I only was able to post after I set myself as Admin.

My forum config is below. Do you need anything more or just that part?

Cookie Domain must be set to whatever your domain name is (without http or www )

Thank you will try this and will let you know of success.

tallygd · New Member Joined: Nov 27, 2008 Posts: 24

Tried it with no joy. Tried a few other things but still no positive result.

Please PM me your nuke admin log-in and a log-in for your hosting control panel ( cPanel, vdeck or whatever so I can access the database) and I'll sort you out.

Sent let me know if you got it. and Thank you

Got it. Try that now, you will probably have to log in again Smile

Set the forum config to what it should be (cookie domain was wrong) set a new cookie name to force users to use a new one and emptied your sessions data to force all users to log in again to get the new cookie.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and oh THANK YOU. It works.

Heya guardian!! Fixing peoples s**t again I see :-p (hes done it for me many times).

I "was" having the same issue. Got it fixed for me, however other users could not post. Havent changed anything (and even reinstalled since then) and now when I click New Topic, it takes me to my profile (Your_Account).

Any ideas?

Still sounds like a cookie issue, doesn't think you're logged in

Thats what I was thinking. . . but I can post now (or could, just reinstalled again). Everyone else is having the issue.

Just did a clean install, have not modified ANY settings, will update when i get to the chokepoint again.

The other issue I had in the past, is if you have more than domain for your site.
