    It's not exclusive to adding comments. Anywhere post or get data is received by Vanilla we have to check to be sure that the request came from within a vanilla page.
  • MarkMark Vanilla Staff
    Alison - if you can post comments in the new vanilla but you have problems doing things like enabling add-ons - make sure you have the latest version of your Javascript files (not cached versions in your browser) by hard-refreshing your browser.

    If you are using windows and firefox, do it by holding down CTRL and hitting F5. Both of the pages you are having problems with use ajax (therefore javascript) to make requests in Vanilla. If you are using old javascript files (cached by your browser) the necessary information won't get to the ajax page properly.

    These are upgrade problems. Once you get through them, you won't really see this problem anymore.

    I have the identical problem as Alison. I can log in, submit posts and use the admin console with no problem. Whenever I attempt to update or install extensions, however, I get the "There was a problem authenticating your post information" error. This was a clean install obtained yesterday, 3-28-2007 from getvanilla.com on a Windows 2003 server machine; perhaps the issue is that this is a Windows rather than a *nix box? Just for fun I've replaced the themes directory with a clean copy from the zip file, cleared all cookies, did a hard refresh and tried it with IE7. Still the same problem.

    As I mentioned to Alison, make sure that you aren't using a cached version of the javascript files and also make sure that you've uploaded the files properly. Here is what they should look like: http://lussumo.com/svn/vanilla/tags/Vanilla-1.1.2/js/ In particular, you are interested in these: http://lussumo.com/svn/vanilla/tags/Vanilla-1.1.2/js/vanilla.js http://lussumo.com/svn/vanilla/tags/Vanilla-1.1.2/js/global.js Also make sure that you aren't using any custom theme files and you are using the core-release-theme file.

    I'm having this problem also. So, just to clarify... only the core theme is working with 1.1.2? I'm using a modified theme that was working fine before I updated today.
  • DinoboffDinoboff
    For each update, themes need to be updated as well.
  • akumulatorakumulator
    Which files need to be updated? Also, I've switched to the default theme and I'm still having the authenticating problem.
  • akumulatorakumulator
    Gaaaahh!! I can't get this error message to go away. Do you have older versions of Vanilla posted anywhere so that I can install a previous version?

    I would suggest throwing up the old version just to give your users a working environment and re-uploading the latest version in a different folder to get your bug mashed out--once that is done you can delete the old one and rename the new folder (remembering to update your conf/settings.php file paths to match)

  • tuzhaktuzhak
    I solved my problem myself with upload original theme files again.
