Recent security updates to our site have caused a small group of users to get "CSRF Errors" when posting on the forums. You'll notice often that one browser will do it, while others won't. The problem has to do with old cookies that aren't compatible with our new security settings, thus clearing your cookies will fix the issue, or likely posting from a "Privacy" or "Incognito" mode.

__________________________________________________________________________________

IMPORTANT
Create a BACKUP of your local SAVE game files FIRST to ensure they are not lost during the process of fixing this, as they are all deleted with the clearing of the cookies as well!!

Sorry for the trouble!

At least under Linux the solution was to update to the latest libflashplayer.so throwing the unsecure, previous version away.

I have been having this problem since last night (I am in the U.K.). It is only a problem on google chrome and firefox, I have managed to log in using explorer (who would've though that explorer is better lol).
I have been trying to log in to the website so that I can access the forums (as in make this reply) as well as the games I play to no avail on chrome and firefox. I have attempted to do what the OP says about removing cookies, and this has not helped me at all.
I do hope a solution to the problem is found soon, as currently I am sharing a pc with my partner (mine is all packed away) and I can't just leave my account logged in all the time as he also plays on armor games.

Oops!

Same issue as above....2 computers, 2 diff locations. Firefox and IE both having problems. Issue seems to be more with DOTD than anything else. Totally clearing all my history works sometimes....not working now. ALL cookies, browser history etc cleared.

Same issue here. Every time I come to AG I'm logged out of my account so I have to re-enter my password then I get this annoying message so I have to re-load to enter again. Then Discrap tells me I'm not logged in so I can't get my messages.

....is this still being looked at? I can't tell from OP. The problem is not on our end, I would be willing to bet. I have looked at all my setting, and my laptop isn't old enough to have "old cookies". Too many issues point to this being on the AG side. Can we get an update? I really don't want to use Kong. :/

I had the issue that I was unlogged, every time I tried to log in I had the CSRF error message. Now everything seems to work again for me, I can play games and get quests, and I stay logged in even when I close the browser and go on AG again.
