I just got it again in Yella's thread, is it the same as the old forum in that you can't post within a minium time period?

Does the site need cookies turned on?

Some sites store session info in the cookies on the local machine.

Hmm. Yea, there is a post time limit. I can check what it is, hang on...

[Gix11]

Yea, it's set to 30 seconds. You must be fast mate! Also managed to find the default time was set to London when I check the wrong area. Cheers mate, you may have just helped me set the default time correctly as well!

As for the other issues, keep them coming, as I'm not sure but Callan may know.

No probs, I changed the time setting in my profile to straya when i got back in.

One of the other times i got the message was when i clicked a picture to enlarge it (hehe), it come up with the message instaed of a pic.

Yeah the default time setting doesn't change how users see the times, that's all up to their profiles, but it sets it for guests etc.

As for the security tokens, yeah you definitely need cookies. The security token is just a little thing passed between pages as you browse, to make sure it's still you, so spammers can't hijack your session.

It's known to fuck up sometimes, but not very often (eg if you see more than once, ever, something is wrong).

Try clearing all your cookies for the streetfighters domain entirely, and re log in... that will set all new cookies from scratch and should fix it.

[latheboy]

Ok, so tell me about these "cookies"..... what are they and how do i find them?

[sen]

What browser do you use?

[bladehunter]

Can I have chocolate chip ? :cool:

[Yella]

They can make you feel all funny if you have to many:p

[sen]

There's good instructions here for all the major browsers on how to clear your cache & cookies:

I use explorer something something :)

Cool i followed the voice over guy and did it, we'll see if that warning pops up again.

Thanks.

If it does (or if it pops up for anyone else) make sure you tell us here, and tell us what you clicked when it happened, eg "I got the error after logging in" or "I got the error after clicking "What's New" etc..

Then we can narrow it down more and fix it :)
