When I log into vBulletin I get the following:

Critical Error

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please check back in 24 hours.

Please, enable debug mode on your site. Follow these instructions.
1. Open your /config.php file and find the following line:

$config['debug'] = false;

2. Change this line to:

$config['debug'] = true;

3. Save the file and upload it to your server.
4. Open the /core/includes/config.php file and find the following line:

// $config['Misc']['debug'] = true;

5. Change it to:

$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;

6. Save and upload the file to your server.
Reload the page you had the error on.

Thanks, the problem was because my pw was over 183 days old. How could i prevent this from happening to registered users? Since it just gives a blank critical page error with no link or msg.

Are you on 5.1.2? I was pretty sure we fixed that. By default only administrators have that setting set.

Yes, i am on 5.1.2.

Used to say "A Serious Error Has Occurred" and nothing else. The error gets better handling in 5.1.3 - http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-12137

You can remove password expiry in the AdminCP under Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager. It is only set for Administrators by default.
