I've had advanced textual confirmation working on my forum for a week or so, it has worked brilliantly so far.

but some of my users have noticed when you submit a message you now get the message "Invalid Session. Please resubmit the form." regardless of whether the confirmation word is correct or incorrect.

I've tried it out myself and found the same problem.

I haven't changed anything, so I'm not sure why it has stopped working, any ideas on how I can fix it?

Thanks in advance Very Happy

ATC should ask a question only once. Is it so for your users, or no?

But if the word is incorrect, then the visitor can't pass the confirmation form. Very strange.

Strange,

I had some users complain of the same error: "Invalid Session. Please resubmit the form."

Worked for me, my site = http://cm-ug.com

I've googled for the error phrase, and I see that a lot of people get this error. Therefore, I'm nearly sure that ATC isn't the reason of the problem. Well, everything is possible, but to blame ATC I need more details on how the error is occurred, for example, the path of the user on the forum.

I haven't seen an cure all for this problem. I am getting this message when I try to post a new subject on my board. My username is set to be a moderator. Again the problem when I post I get the message, "Invalid Session. Please resubmit the form."

I've looked at the forum and haven't seen Advanced Textual Confirmation on it. Therefore, you should blame phpBB itself, and you'd better ask for fix in the phpbb.com support forums. Support people know the issues better than I.
