Question: What just happened?

[.Seth]

Ok. I was just about to post a new scrapbox thread for my majorly updated hack.
Anyways, after 1 hour of typing and formatting, I submitted it.
Then, I got this wierd error.
I forgot exactly what it said, but I knew the thread wasn't posted.
Does this happen sometimes?
Did the server have a hiccup?
(This is probably the first time this has happened to me...)

Did it say something about a security token?

 

[.Seth]

Actually, yes. It did. Something about a security token being invalid or something along the lines of that.

That nearly always happens on Vbulletin.
Don't worry about it, But if it persists you should talk to someone who can edit it.

Grr. This is getting annoying.
I've (attempted to) submit it five times.
Just the error.
What is a security token anyway?

Actually, yes. It did. Something about a security token being invalid or something along the lines of that.

That's happened to me too. I think it has to do with vBulletin resetting a login (you can see this when the "Last Visited" time changes though you never actually left) if you're inactive for a long time. Something about the token not carrying over, I guess.

The simple answer is to hit the Back button on your browser, copy your entire thread, then click Reload (or just go back to the main forum and start again) and paste it all in.

Thanks. Actually, that's just what I did! XD

Thanks for your help everyone!
