Hello,
right after updating to RC4 I'm seeing major annoyances regarding forum administration.
By the time I want to delete the update script via the filemanager and after having confirmed the deletion I'm getting logged off and can't log in anymore. The problem goes away if I manually delete the cookie however as a result the update script still lingers around. So I'm unable to delete it. It seems this effect is affecting any operation of the file manager. My guess is, referrer checks are made however they pick up a wrong path (maybe absolute path vs. relative path?).
Other operations like consistency checker or setting global options aren't affected by it.
The same problem already appears after having finished upgrading. If I choose to manually run the consistency check (following the link) I'm facing a login-prompt which doesn't accept my data.
No changes where made to my browser configuration or the servers settings, including the forum itself.
And it's happening independant from having HTTP_REFERER set to the destination's www-root dir (filtering proxy)

Another flavour of the same issue:
When the forum is enabled, I'm not able to use the admin control panel link it keeps reloading the index page instead.
Once I've deleted my cookie and click the panel link a login prompt will appear, which seems the only way to me to enter the panel, as clicking the link while being logged in just reloads the page.
Happens with path info enabled.

I just found the reason for the reload behaviour. It happens because my user id is passed over as query argument, however this leads to the failure. If I remove my id, just leaving the SQ=... variable I'm able to enter the panel as expected.
To illustrate it, here's an example:
http://the.server.org/adm/admglobal.php?SQ=12345678
this link works but isn't passed over by the link. Instead it looks like this:
http://the.server.org/adm/admglobal.php?1/?SQ=12345678
which fails ("1" representing the user id)
another alternative to make it work is to replace the first question mark with a slash:
http://the.server.org/adm/admglobal.php/1/?SQ=12345678
Which would be more consistant as what I'm used to with path info
