The CSRF token is invalid. Please try to resubmit the form.

@wemmick: I haven't been getting any since last night, even when I have the page open with a post half-way done for extended periods of time. So far so good.

In fact, the change was so drastic that I came here to say something's changed. Crossing my fingers.

Thank you guys.

Figured I'd stop in here to say I experienced my first "CSRF token is invalid" error this morning on my Iphone 6 while browsing System Wars in Safari.

Got this when trying to like something

New user here, can't post (except in here) or reply and getting these errors as well.

Same problem here as well. This started happening today.

Just Happened again. In RED BOLD LETTERS :(

Just happend to me too, only happens on my mobile though never on PC.

@rick: Nope.

Got this problem today on laptop. Never seen it before in my many years of posting on Gamespot. Would seem that the Gamespot staff would want to address this if only to keep traffic from going to competing sites (of which there are many).

@the_hunger: how long had you left the page / tab open before you attempted to post out of curiosity? i find if i've left a tab open for a long time and come back to it and try and post then i get that error. a quick refresh of the page and re-attempt works fine

@Macutchi: Thanks for your message. I was able to get my message posted by closing down my browser and relaunching the website.

@the_hunger: good to hear although it's not an ideal solution! i assume it's some kind of security measure, a session based timer that gives you a finite time to post before expiring. but i'm only guessing

4 years old and this issue still isn't fixed.

I still receive it practically every single time I submit a comment.. or try to. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and I just bail. Doesn't matter if it's a fresh reload of the page either.

Upvoting doesn't work most of the time either either.

I'm having this problem. Don;t know why post work here.

Update: I continue to get this issue with Chrome and Firefox on my WIndows PC. However, I do not get this error using the MS Edge browser. Just FYI.

Yep, just started for me last night on Firefox now I have to use Edge yuck.

Gamespot, I subscribe to your email newsletter, and from those I click on the article headers in your emails to get redirected to the articles on your site, to read them. But every single time I do so, if I try to write a comment in the article, I invariably get the "The CSRF token is invalid. Please try to resubmit the form" error message. This happens in any browser I've tried, including Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge (have not tried Google Chrome or Opera etc, as I don't want to install multiple browsers that I don't use). So I always have to open a separate window, and then use Google to find the article (copy-pasting the article link never works, I still get the error message) and open it, before I can post. This is very annoying, and sometimes Google might not find the article so easily either. Can you please do something about this? I've endured it for a very long time, but it's really starting to wear me out...

This happens every single time I want to post a comment and I would have to log out and in to fix it. Gamespot is the only website that I use that has this problem.

edit: not on the forums but on the articles

I get the same error when trying to post in an article! Could someone please fix it?

Still not fixed?

Also, its weird how my first message here does not ask my robot status. So are you always human when posting here but a possible robot when posting in other parts of Game Spot ?

I think I've finally figured out this idiotic bug, and I've also figured out why Gamespot hasn't fixed it.

When you load an article, it loads up inside your browser as normal. If you read to the bottom of the article and scroll down, it automatically loads another article (bad website design). Gamespot does this to artificially inflate impressions to those articles to prop up their page/ad views to get more ad spend.

If you watch your url bar carefully, when you scroll down near the bottom of an article and it loads the next one, your URL will actually change to the link of the next loaded story, (also bad website design) such that if you refresh the page you actually get the SECOND story, with no link back to the original (VERY bad website design).

This can happen very, very easily if you click the "Show Comments" button near the top of the story, or click the Comments section button to expand the comments and you immediately start to scroll down before the comments pop out into their full size - the next story loads and your url changes.

I'm pretty sure every time I have gotten one of the CSRF errors, the URL has changed to the second story. When I return to the first story and refresh the page using the URL to the first story, then renavigate to comments and paste the comment ensuring the URL is that of the story I'm actually posting the comment on, it works.

If Gamespot prevented the second story from loading or your URL from changing, I'm guessing it would likely solve this bug. But that would devastate their falsely inflated page views, and they can't have that.
