Password loop

If your password is expired, then you will need to change it to access VaultWiki. Otherwise you will be stuck in an endless loop.

This will also happen if:

Your security token is invalid.
The server is too busy.
You try to view the PHP info and the forum forbids this.
The forum is closed for maintenance.
Your password is the same as your username and the forum doesn't allow that.
The forum has required profile items that you didn't fill in.
The user can't view the forum at all.
The user is banned.
Probably any custom errors at global_state_check.

Fixed in the current ZIP. In vault/special_plugins.php, find:

Code:

else if ($_REQUEST['do'] != 'create'

Replace with:

Code:

else if ($_REQUEST['do'] != 'create' AND !empty($threadinfo)

If you can't find the code, you can just download the patched file from the current ZIP.
