Security Issue Redirect

Just to double check, are the users who are experiencing this problem using Firefox 3.6?

After some research unless I'm mistaken the current problem resides with Firefox 3.6 as described here - http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view...5399&forumId=1

At present, there is no fix. Hopefully either Firefox or vBulletin will issue a workaround. I would air on the side of vBulletin releasing a fix for this quicker than Firefox as they won't roll out a fix until their next release, which is less often than vBulletins.

That can't be. I have several computers still running 3.5.x and they are receiving this error. I did find that if I disabled DST (Daylight Savings Time) altogether, it stopped the error from showing up.

In includes/adminfunctions.php find:

Add below:

Whoever did the upgrading most likely forgot to revert the templates, and that causes bugs. I've done lots of work on vBulletin and IP.Board, so take my word for it.

Additionally, if you want to proof it, you can revert the template now to when it got upgraded for 3.8.x, and then add the template mods again, it'll take some time. Is the orange/green skin a child style off of a parent or a lone style?

Edit: This issue has been around for a few years. The above fix should work, if not, revert the template and force the default style onto users while you do the necessary mods again. If you still have issues, let me know and I'll look into it more, but I'm confident the problem should be fixed after you do the above.

The templates in themselves are no longer the problem with this issue, I've rechecked them all today, there is no current error with them relating to this problem.

The code modification you posted, is already within includes/adminfunctions.php

Hmm, thanks for the fast response. I'll look into it for you.

Was getting some coffee and I remembered that I was experiencing this problem on this site in Opera, Safari, and Chrome. I thought they were screwed up but Firefox 3.5.7 gives the error too. I've turned on back the DST corrections to see if the error can replicate itself so I can assist you with this.

For now the default skin is the best to use so that users don't get this issue. But just wondering, is the orange/green skin a lone style or is it a child of a parent style?


Edit: A form or more is missing the code I posted above. Search for "<form" and ensure they all have that code. I gave you something else to do before. Sorry! This would be checked in all templates.

I know it happened a lot when I was reading the iTrader reviews for members. Going to advanced post, and such.

I'm not understanding where you'd like me to look?

Give me a day to look over my templates so I can give you the list of them to check for. Sound good?

Find:

Directly add under that:

In where?

Search the headerinclude template for this:

Look directly under that line, if the following isn't there, add it directly below the above code:



Then search all templates for this:

And then add this line of code right under the above code for every single instance:


So intead of the instances looking like this:


They will look like this:


On the other hand, you can use the template search engine and replace the code there, by following this screenshot.
