Odd shout box error "Your session timed out" TP0.95

[SOcRatEs]

Fresh install 1.1rc3 & TP0.95
Amber theme, logged in as admin
DSS new site
I keep getting this error when I try to post a shout.....

An Error Has Occurred!
Your session timed out while posting. Please go back and try again.

Would clearing cache help here?

Thank you for all the hard work!!!!

Thats about all we can suggest. Try clearing you cookies and cache. Close browser and re-login to your site and then try. Also, you may want to try the default theme before clearing your stuff. If that doesn't work, maybe give us a test account to test ourselves.

same problem here.  Cleaned cookies and cache in both IE6 and Firefox, restart browser and still get the error.

This only happens when the shoutbox is brought center-screen:
http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=tpmod;sa=shoutbox

It works fine as a side-box.

If that doesn't work, maybe give us a test account to test ourselves.

Try it out right on this site with the above link...

Submitted this as a bug in the bugtracker.

Fixed that, and another one:

$context['TPortal']['profile_shouts_hide'] = empty($context['TPortal']['profile_shouts_hide']) ? '0' : '1';

Hmm... I'm having exactly the same shoutbox problem after updating to 0.95 and the code doesn't seem to help... 

The last lines of TPmodules.template.php now look like this - anything wrong with that? Or have I misunderstood something?

                  if($context['user']['is_guest'] && $context['TPortal']['guest_shout'])
                       echo '
<input style="margin-top: 4px;" size="20"  type="text" name="tp-shout-name" value="'.$txt['tp-guest'].'">';
                  else
                       echo '<input type="hidden" name="tp-shout-name" value="'.$context['user']['name'].'">';

                  echo '<input name="tp-shout-url" type="hidden" value="'.$tp_where.'">
            <input type="hidden" name="sc" value="', $context['session_id'], '" />
              </form></div></div>';
               break;

Delete your browser cache and cookies for your site, and reload the page.

If you still have a problem, if you have cacheing enabled for your board, turn it off temporarily to see if your board had the page cached.

[Artimidor]

Well, whatever I try - remove caching, delete cookies, get rid of temporary files, open the Forum with another browser - no effect whatsoever.
