    Hi,

    I have a strange problem that seems to be cropping up in some browsers, but not others - I know, it’s weird. I’ve tried this on all my Mac browsers without any problem, and even IE7/8 on my VM works fine, but Chrome on the VM and Safari on the VM (and I confirmed on my desktop) all spit out this error.

    Here’s my Safecracker tag. In the backend I’ve told it to allow Guest Entries, but I didn’t specify the ID because it can change; it has to change dynamically actually.

    {exp:safecracker channel="booking-engine" return="{segment_1}/confirm/{segment_3}/{segment_4}/ENTRY_ID" entry_id="{segment_5}" logged_out_member_id="{segment_4}" id="publishForm" include_jquery="no" safecracker_head="no" json="no" secure_action="yes"}

    As you can see, {segment_4} should be pulling in the member_id to use, but it’s either not or something else is going on. My URL looks like this:

    https://subdomain.mysitecom/activities/book/230/295

    Any thoughts as to what might be causing this problem?

    Thanks,
    John

    Edit: I accidentally posted this in Pre-Sales (sorry!). Can someone please move this to support.
