What version are you running?

1.5.1

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?

When trying to view a diff, I get the appended error. If I try
many times, sometimes, it will work, but 99% of the time it will not.
All my passwords are current and available.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Just trying to perform a view diff on an old review item.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What operating system are you using? What browser?

This is likely due to some configuration error on the server (it's not using your password, it's using a password configured by the person who set up reviewboard).

1.5.1 is also very old at this point. We highly recommend upgrading to 1.7.x
