I got a few users who come across this error whenever they reply to a post or start a new thread.

here's the screenshot :

Does this happen to you? Which version are you running? Have you installed any hacks (including portals) or added any code to the headinclude, header or phpinclude templates?

[d3nnis]

yes happening to me sometimes.

Its rather random.

I am running version 3.0.1

Here's what I added to my header, headinclude and php_include which I doubt affects the posting :

header

  navigation elements.

Yes I have installed a portal (but it DOES not touch any of the vb 3 files). It just a page by itself outside vb 3 folder.

This thing has already been happening since when i am using vb 3 RC version (I wasn't using any hacks yet)

And this has happen to some members in here too including your vb staff.

So, please don't tell me that u will not provide any support after i install the portal cos its ridiculous.

Try this. Reupload the original vbulletin-style.xml file from the zip file to your install directory. Make sure you upload this in ASCII and overwrite the one on the server. Then import this file in the 'Upload' section of the Style Manager.

Next create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Then change to this style and view your forums with it. Do you have the same problem? If so, is it reproducible?

i will try it on my test forum and see.

is it really necessary to switch to the new style?

[Steve Machol]

Well, yes. The reason I suggested it is to see if the problem is related to a style or template change.

[d3nnis]

ok then, i will get my user to test out posting in the test board.

[Zachery]

What version of php are you using?

[d3nnis]

What version of php are you using?

using php 4.3.2

[brisk_99]

I am having this same problem, as well so is there any new news on this?

It seems to just happen randomly.
