    Probably a modification or browser cache issue. Does that happen regardless of browser?

        Then you likely have a modification causing this.

        To troubleshoot this, first reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server. Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file. Then run 'Suspect File Versions' in Diagnostics to make sure you have all the original files for your version and that none show 'File does not contain expected contents':

        Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions

        [Note: In some cases you may also need to remove any of the listed .xml files in the includes/xml directory.]

        Next, disable all products (except vB Blog and vB CMS if you are running the Suite.)

        Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Disable

        Then manually uncheck all plugins that are not for 'vBulletin Blog' and vBulletin CMS' here:

        Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager

        You must do BOTH of those steps in order to disable all non vBulletin Modifications.

        Then if you still have this problem, create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Finally empty your browser cache, close all browser windows then try again. Make sure you change to the new style and view your forums with it.

        Do you have the same problem?

                  Hi,

                  This sounds like a problem with mod_expires.

                  Try adding this to your .htaccess file, clear all of your board-related cookies and log in again.
                  Code:
                  ExpiresActive Off
                  If it works properly now, then the expires module in your Apache webserver is the problem.

                            Just you, or everyone? If everyone then what do you have set for the cookie domain and path?
