When I try to do a simple search I get this:

Your submission could not be processed because you have logged in since the previous page was loaded.

Please push the back button and reload the previous window.


I don't know what that means. Renewing the page makes no difference. What is going on, and how do I fix it?

Thanks.
 
Try clearing your cookies and cache. It sure sounds like the type of problem often caused by a corrupted cookie.

Do you mean on my computer?

Or is this something special I need to do within BladeForums? If the later, I have no idea how to accomplish it.
 
Yes, cookies are on your computer.

Depending on what browser you use there should be an option to clear cookies somewhere.

Your best bet is probably to google "How do I clear my cookies on _______?", with the blank being your browser (firefox, internet explorer, safari, etc).
 
From The FAQ's, under general forum usage.

How do I clear cookies?

You can clear all your cookies set by the forum by clicking the 'logout' link at the top of the page. In some cases, if you return to the main index page via the link provided and you are still logged in, you may have to remove your cookies manually.

In Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP: Click the 'Tools' menu. Select 'Internet Options' from the menu that appears. Click 'Delete Cookies' on the dialog box that appears. It will be in the center area of the 'General' tab.

In Internet Explorer 7: Click the 'Tools' menu. Select 'Internet Options' from the menu that appears. Click 'Delete...', beneath 'Browsing History' on the dialog box that appears. It will be in the center area of the 'General' tab. Click 'Delete cookies...' on the next dialog box that appears.

In Firefox: Click the 'Tools' menu. Select 'Options' from the menu that appears. From the dialog box, select 'Privacy' on the left. Find 'Cookies' on the main pane, and click the 'Clear' button adjacent to it.

In Safari: Go to Preferences, Security, then show Cookies and either select 'Remove all' or select individual cookies and then the 'Delete' button.

In Opera: Go to Tools, Preferences, Advanced, Cookies, Manage cookies then select the name of this site and click the 'Delete' button.

Your cookies should now be removed. You may want to restart the computer and revisit the forums to be sure.

Other browsers may have a different method of clearing cookies. Refer to the documentation for your own browser if you are unsure.
