I'm not sure which forum this should actually be under but this support one should probably be the best to start off with I hope.
I have looked for the past day through many many threads and tried many things without resolve.
I have a forum that had been working perfectly fine for the past few years.
It uses :
smf 1.1.11
Joomla 1.0.12
smf to joomla bridge 1.1.6
I have since just moved it to another webhost.
I did the standard file copy and database backup.
Modified configuration.php (joomla) and used repair_settings.php (smf) to make sure all paths were correct.
Changed the forum local path in the bridge options.
Have checked inside smf that "Enable compressed output" is turned OFF and "Use database driven sessions" are turned on.
As far as I can tell everything works in the forums apart from clicking on "quote","modify" or the quick "inline" modify button on posts.
failing session url example :

http://mysite.net/smf/index.php?action=post;msg=68846;topic=4295.15;sesc=b32952dc7b12af659ee2508c4b615443 [nofollow]When users and myself have seen is the following.
When a "session verification failure" occurs you can click logout and then login again (using forever option). You can then sucessfully click on one of the 3 bottons mentioned above.
However, if you then goto another thread and try and do it the same error comes up again.
Using httpfox (firefox) and also Inspect Element (Chrome) I have watched the cookie contents to see if it changes between clicks.
All session information inside the cookies remains the same.
I have checked in the smf_sessions database table and I can see my PHPSESSIONID listed with the same value as my cookie of the same name.
I "think" that it's some sort of bridge interaction that is breaking it as if I use direct links to the forums ie.
http://www.mysite.com/smf/index.php [nofollow] its fine.
Any clues?
