If you tried to login a little while ago and couldn't, there was a cPanel upgrade and a server reboot but all is good now.

Sorry, my grandson stopped by for a bit and running all over the house. LOL

It's possible that it may to do with the way this server reads files...

Did you try the fix for the theme change issue that I posted?
OK well I did it another way and the issue still happens with Default Curve so it's noting to do with the themes directly.
The only option is to overwrite all SMF files with new ones. I did do this but only one folder/file at a time. So while you guys are sleeping I will try that.


OK I've found what the issue was...

For some reason on this site SMF doesn't like themes with a hyphen in them and Xmas-Dave had one, so after a couple of hours of renaming and uploading I solved it by deleting the current version of the theme and then uploading another version but removed the hyphen.

As you would have seen I set everyone to the default curve so you can change back to whatever theme you were working on at the time.

Although that fixed the issue on here on Quizland the theme is named the same but there are no issues there, so maybe on here it's a little more deep rooted, but at least we can now change themes



Very interesting, glad to see the issue is resolved. Still need to find the why though XD .

EDIT: It's working for me! YEAH! LOL

Make a copy of your htaccess, remove it, and create a fresh one.

Does the issue still occur?

Have you tried running repair_Settings? While unlikely, it is worth checking.

Any errors on the server side error log?


1. I don't want to remove the .htaccess file as I did a sneaky with the host. I was getting an error which I contacted my host about but they said it wasn't them but I was sure it was mod_security so I found a piece of code that goes into the .htaccess file that you can stop it from running, but in order for it to work you have to restart the server. So I put the code in the file and got the host to move the server to the Netherlands and by doing this the issue didn't happen anymore because the server was restarted.

2. Did a repair settings no change

3. I have no error logs in any of my sites, which I'm taking as a good thing.

It doesn't happen with Firefox, so maybe this is more a browser issue.

1.  Nothing in .httaccess.

2.  No need to run repair_settings as this is a new test site and not an upgraded one.

3.  No errors in the server log that I'm aware of...

Quote from: Bocool on Apr 07, 2023, 10:11 PMProbably, but I do remember having this issue before and fixed it. However, my dumb ass didn't document in case it happens later. >:(

Just read your post before I've posted this. And, mod_security is not enabled on the server and am SURE that wasn't the problem last time cause when it was enabled it blocked Les' IP and he was unable to access the server without VPN so we disabled it about 2 years or more ago.

I just check and it is not enabled. I don't think it is a server issue because more pages would be disabled...
Well darn I was hoping it was that easy lol.


It happens on all themes. Dave has reported that he made a new test site and still gets the error as well.

That suggests something server side and/or general configuration issue, in my opinion anyways haha.

Edit: Attempted trying different cache methods... no go on that either.
