"Invalid request token..." error when logging in

Hope that worked, Dave! Let me know if it didn't.

It's a problem that pops up every once in awhile in the Help Forum, dating back a couple of years even.

I wonder if Phil was running into the same problem? If so, a "too" remarkable coincidence, and I would wonder if ProBoards did an unannounced minor tweak that affected the token exchange process to re-trigger this problem?

Ok, on my phone, I completely logged out of both ProBoards boards, then logged into one and then into the other, and everything is now fine! I have no idea how, in the past, I would've started logging into one board and then switching to the other ("Squirrel!!"), but let's assume that's what happened.

So now, all is well is ProBoardsville.

Thanks, khj , Kim, for addressing this and quickly finding an effective and easy to implement solution!!

I would say that is likely an accurate assessment.

Which tells us that Google is sharing/harvesting a lot more information than they let on. It's not just Google search.

To me, the only question is, does Google do more behind the scenes (behind your back) hidden harvesting/sharing, or does Microsoft? By hidden, I mean you think you have your software/device set on no sharing/harvesting... but it's actually not, or they are harvesting a lot of other stuff they aren't telling you.

Microsoft used to have a particularly vicious way of getting you to tacitly approve. When you set up after a major update, there would be an "info sharing option" which was default to essentially share everything. It was at the bottom of the set-up window, and appeared to be a fairly all-encompassing setting that you could deny sharing/harvesting. What you wouldn't notice was there was actually a very thin and ever-so-slightly different color shade scroll bar at right. I didn't notice it first few times. Was confused why so much person info/activities were being harvested. I rechecked my settings, and realized, if you scroll down more, there were like half a dozen more info sharing/harvesting options, all defaulting to ON. What's worse, for a while, MS would re-set everything to default ON during major updates. So if you skipped the set-up (because you wanted to get back to work), all your info was once again being harvested by MS.

Still, MS at least gives you the option to turn off some sharing. Google doesn't really give you that option when you use their search engine or Chrome. Yeah, Chrome has an option to stop Ad Personalization. But that doesn't mean Google isn't harvesting your browsing activities.

Enough of my rant. Back to reporting bugs & technical problems...
