Yep every page I view is BLANK white and has black writing.. "Invalid request variable."

That error was put in if it detected a numeric key in the $_POST, $_GET, or $_REQUEST variables.

Most likely you had something in your cookie or cache that was sending invalid data.  Glad you got it worked out.

Is this something I can do anything about for the ppl still having issues having to delete cookies/files everytime?

You could disable the cookie checking part by replacing:

Koodi (QueryString.php) [Valitse] Laajenna

foreach (array_merge(array_keys($_REQUEST), array_keys($_COOKIE), array_keys($_FILES)) as $key)

by:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

foreach (array_merge(array_keys($_REQUEST), array_keys($_FILES)) as $key)

would this allow them to stay logged in even when they leave still?? 

[Compuart]

It doesn't influence the setting or unsetting of cookies. It just ignores 'malformed' cookies.

So does anyone yet know WHY this actually happens to some users?

This problem still exits in RC3.

[Compuart]

It happens because some users have (non-SMF) cookies that are being marked as bad by SMF. To fix, apply the above code changes. They have also been implemented in 1.1 final.

Search the QueryString.php file and You must DELETE this:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Same goes for numeric keys.
foreach (array_merge(array_keys($_REQUEST), array_keys($_COOKIE), array_keys($_FILES)) as $key)
if (is_numeric($key))
die('Invalid request variable.');

OR

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Same goes for numeric keys.
foreach (array_merge(array_keys($_REQUEST), array_keys($_FILES)) as $key)
if (is_numeric($key))
die('Invalid request variable.');

this work for me

[mark7144]

The second suggestion was already implemented in SMF1.1 final so no point doing it for me.

I deleted all of,

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Same goes for numeric keys.
foreach (array_merge(array_keys($_REQUEST), array_keys($_COOKIE), array_keys($_FILES)) as $key)
if (is_numeric($key))
die('Invalid request variable.');
and it did fix it but is this safe? It is OK to do that?
