Title: Session verification failed.
Post by: PokeTech on February 18, 2008, 05:08:35 PM
Yea I've seen loads of these threads but I didn't want to revive one.

On my forum I get this message

QuoteSession verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.

I can't log out of my forum, I can't log into the admin panel, I can only view the different pages, Member list, threads, Pms. Thats about all I can do... How do I log out and how do I access the admin panel. Cause every time I do either of them I get the error above.

Welcome to SMF.

Did you try deleting your browser cookies? Then close out the browser and open it back up. Try logging in.

I have the same problem... I deleted my coockies.
I can post one message at time with one session... As soon as I post an other one, I got the message...

Should I desactivate sessions driven by database or empty the session table ?

I got the problem on this forum too...

I guess I've got a problem with my browser...

Try using another browser...

Also give the following a try to see if it will clear out the cookies and temp files properly:

Download ATF Cleaner at http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program. Under Main choose Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.

If you use the Firefox browser click Firefox at the top and choose Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

If you use the Opera browser click 'Opera' at the top and choose 'Select All'
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

I reinstalled the complete OS (I use Mac OS X and Safari), and it works !
Thanks !

LOL....was that necessary? Most likely some temp/cookie file was still remaining there in the OS.

Glad you got it resolved.

Poketech, any update on this issue?
