Title: Cannot Merge Topics
Post by: mkeys5000 on April 01, 2010, 10:59:23 PM
I am currently using 2.0 RC3 in production (I know this is not advised)

none of the administrators are able to merge two topics. When we try to do so it says "Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again."

My forums are located here if you would like to take a look: http://www.happyturtlespub.org/smf/ (http://www.happyturtlespub.org/smf/)

Any help would be much appreciated!

Does it happen in the default theme?

Huh!

It works perfectly in the default theme. Which I guess means that this is somehow my fault, must have broken something when creating the theme I use. Does anyone have any advice as to what I might have broken or where I can look?

(that you for the great help so far by the way)

Well, what files have you modified in your theme so far?

I know that I have looked into quite a few of the template pages but I only recall making any edits to index.template.php and index.css

Oh, also worth mentioning...

I had started making my theme during 2.0 RC2. When RC3 came along there were some changes to the default theme, so I took all of the RC2 default theme files and added them to my custom theme directory.

That'll be why. There were some template changes made - which includes session key being added.

Delete the files you haven't modified, then fix your theme's index.template.php and CSS files.
