This is more of a support topic than a bug.

Token verification issues are usually caused by having multiple tabs open for the same user on the same forum (they're stealing each others tokens...).  The solution to that is to stick to one tab, especially when making admin updates.  If you are confirming your configurations, and want to view items on one tab while making updates on another tab, you should use two different browsers to avoid the token problem.

You can get similar session issues if you are installing a new forum in the same location as a previously installed forum.  You should clear your cookies and/or rename the cookie to avoid those issues.
Address the process rather than the outcome.  Then, the outcome becomes more likely.   - Fripp
