My host contacted me saying the forum has several errors in the application event log. The error is:

Event message: Forms authentication failed for the request. Reason: The ticket supplied was invalid.

Request information:

Please help!

There could be many reasons for this, the most likely is someone trying to login to the forums with an old or expired authentication ticket requiring them to log in, it could *possibly* be someone trying to exploit the forum and create an auth ticket that will gain them access, this is likely to fail in all cases, generally I would not worry about it unless you're seeing hundreds or thousands per day.
