    Looking for help to solve a problem.
    When I click on "mark forums read", I get a new page up with this message.
    'Your submission could not be processed because a security token was invalid.

    If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error."

    I then clicked on the link to inform the administrator and left a message and the follow up page said the message was sent.
    However, I then got the page with the quoted message again so I don't know if the message to the administrator even went through.
    I use the latest firefox browser.
    I went to "options" on my browser and cleared the cookies, making sure that cookies are enabled for 3reef, and then logged back in again, but have the same results as before.
    Thanks

    not sure what to tell you, I use IE 8 and get that occasionally when posting at work, but resubmitting usually goes thru. I have firefox at home, i'll give it a try tonight and see what happens.

    Token errors are a bit too common with this software. :p Did you quit the browser completely after clearing the cache? If you do that and reopen, it should work.

    Which cache do I have to clear. (not too computer literate)
    I have a browser cached on firefox that is cleared every time I shut down the computer but I manually cleared it and then cleared the cookies stored from 3reef.
    I shut down the computer, started up some time later and logged into 3reef and I still have the problem.

    Well, I've now tried to mark forums read using I.E. as well as Firefox on my wife's computer as well as my own.
    Same result every time.
