XF 1.3 "XenForo_Exception: Invalid authentication module" error

I have just successfully upgraded my forum to 1.3.5 and so far so good. I did some housekeeping before the upgrade, and one of the things I got rid of was an old CodeInMotion folder in my /library folder - I figured since this was only ever used for the initial import of my old PunBB database many years ago, it would no longer be needed.

I've just noticed the following errors in my server log, however:

Can anyone help?

Thanks.
 
That code was still in use -- you'll need to restore it. It's being used to authenticate people. (This may be based on an older code base that does not upgrade authentication methods when logging in. Even so, the first login post-import for any user would still use the code.)

Thanks Mike. I have re-instated the CodeInMotion folder in the /library dir. Hopefully that is enough to fix the problem!
