    Invalid Action Specified: Is this caused by vBSEO?

    I tried solving this problem over at vBulletin: Is there a solution to the "Invalid Action Specified" problem? - vBulletin Community Forum

    It appears that my problem is not with vB3.7.x and I've noticed online that those reporting this bug are running the vBSEO product.

    Symptom:

    1. New to vB3.7, when a Moderator or Admin has been logged in for a period of time and takes a Moderating action (i.e. deletes a thread) he is prompted for a password.
    2. System validates password.
    3. Error: Invalid Action Specified

    The workaround is that the user is now "logged in" to the AdminCP again so it lets the Admin or Mod perform the action the second time around but it is very annoying.

    I found one thread on this forum but it seems like I've done everything.

    I upgraded to the latest version of vBSEO today. I uploaded the new .htaccess, and I reset the bitfields.

    Am I missing something?

    &do=login right before it comes to Invalid Action Specified.

    Here is an example of a URL where the vBulletin message is displayed:
    HTML Code:
    http://www.puritanboard.com/inlinemod.php?t=34934&p=&postids=433480
    So, it's passed the &do part with the login and fails when it gets to the action of moderation that I was trying to accomplish.
