Title: Can't delete posts anymore
Post by: shmokes on May 16, 2003, 04:54:24 pm

How come we can't delete posts anymore?  I just posted in the wrong forum, so I copied my post and reposted it in the main forum.  Went back to delete the original and it says invalid referring..um site or something.  I forget now.  But I've noticed that it's happening to everyone else too.

As a new user, I was able to post and delete that same post.  Not sure what's happening.  Can someone who has this error please capture a screenprint and post it or send it to me?  Thanks!

I tested it elsewhere and it works now, but it didn't ~ 2 days ago. It brought up a message a la

ERROR!
Invalid referring site.

Yeah...I think it was you who changed a message to "I" cos you couldn't delete it, LOL.

Weird.  It sounds like it's intermittent...sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.  Those are a pain to troubleshoot.

The problem is that if you have the menu on the left, this new version of YaBB SE thinks that a different website (.com vs. .org) made the request. And due to new security... That is not allowed. For now, open the message board in a new window.
