All pages start with "\\" and no one can log in

Have you tried disabling your addons via the config file.

All the links are working just fine for me on your site. Did you fix the issue?

**acwatts** · Wed 20 Jun '12, 1:10pm

All his pages start with \\ look at the page source.

Make sure that they is nothing before the <?php or after the ?> (if it is there) in includes/config.php. If config.php is clean, I'd recommend re-uploading all the vBulletin files (except for install/install.php and includes/config.php.new).

I'm not seeing that at all:

HTML Code:

<a class="navtab" href="forum.php?">Forum</a>

and

<a href="showthread.php?20999-I-just-trying-to-find-my-girl&amp;goto=newpost" class="threadtitle" title="Go to first unread post in thread 'I just trying to find my girl..'">I just trying to find my...</a>

The page source looks totally fine for me. (Chrome browser on a Mac.)

I'm using chrome and see this at the top of every page.

Navigation isn't an issue necessarily, it is affecting the ability of users to log on. Admins/mods can not log in to their control panels either. We are all locked out.

Config is clean.

Reuploading vB now. Will report when complete.

**acwatts** · Wed 20 Jun '12, 2:24pm

It looks like it worked.

**10 Gauge** · Wed 20 Jun '12, 2:26pm

Reupload of vB files seems to have fixed the problem.

Any insight as to what could have caused this??

Accidental change when editing perhaps... you may have scrolled and typo'd \\ or something along those lines.

**Eve_Ra** · Wed 20 Jun '12, 2:38pm

With FireFox, it's ok, without \\. And if I try to login with a wrong login/pass, I obtain an error message: with a regular login/pass, it should work fine.
With IE9, I also tried, but no error message and no connection.
Apparently, it depends which browser is used.

Aaahhh.... It work fine, now!
