Topic: Edit posting

Received warning when editing a posting.

"Unable to confirm security token. A likely cause for this is that some time passed between when you first entered the page and when you submitted a form or clicked a link. If that is the case and you would like to continue with your action, please click the Confirm button. Otherwise, you should click the Cancel button to return to where you were."

Re: Edit posting

I can't replicate it: can you be more specific about how to reproduce the issue?
And make sure it isn't simply your session timing out like the message says wink

Re: Edit posting

No, it is not a session timing out.

- Logged in.
- Created a new message.
- Clicked on the Edit link.
- Clicked Submit button.
- Got the warning.

This is reproducible every time.

Re: Edit posting

Is the user you're doing this with a member of the moderator usergroup who doesn't have moderators powers over the forum you're posting in?

Yes, that is the case.

Re: Edit posting

Ah, that's a fairly important detail there, since it happens to be the only case where this occurs tongue
This involves changes in several files, so I'm getting a dev consensus on how to fix it first.
