Basically, CSRF failure means that the value of the special token stored in your session doesn't match the value of the same token in the incoming request.

You should provide more data on your problem.

Have you tried a different browsers? What hosting platform are you using? And so on.

I have tried both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. I am using Ipage.com as my hosting company. I could provide more information but I do not know what type of information is needed for this type of error. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

First of all, First of all, we need to define the source of the problem. It can be either a client-side or a server-side (or both  ;)).

Have you tried to use our demo? Are the form submissions there (you can't change admin's password in demo application, but you can change some settings, chat, etc.) works in your browsers as intended?

It seems that your problem has something to do with PHP sessions management on your hosting. That happens from time to time: http://mibew.org/forums/index.php/topic,224.0.html

Are there any other PHP applications you use on the same hosting? Are they works as intended?
