I tried posting in this thread to be told that my token had expired? 😕 Then I closed out and tried refinding the thread but I can’t; what’s going on? ---

I’ll let Jerry know about this. No promises as to what might or might not happen but I do ask you to keep an eye on the situation and let me know if there’s more incidents of this type of thing. Here’s what vB has to say about the issue: > [@](#): > > If this problem is only happening to some people and cannot be reproduced, the probable cause is their browser cache.

Okay. I’ve been able to post since then–but is the snake thread gone, or am I just not looking for it in the right place? ---

I may know the answer to this one: If you look at a SDMB page and start a post, then let your SDMB session expire, it can give you that stupid token message–apparently vB can’t auto-log you on when you’re on the composing a post page. I had this happen on a regular basis on Giraffe’s board and I came over here to test it and had the same thing happen. I think it’s just a vB problem. If you were reading the thread, then went right to post and then got the message without leaving the session unattended, then damifikno. 😉 ---

So where’s the epileptic snake?
