Webiste bugs after update

Administrators Поблагодарили: 265 раз	It happens when: [list=1] You are logged in with "remember me" flag You send a request (e.g. click a link) and then without waiting for page to load you send another request (e.g. click a link again) It is request and cookie forgery protection: a secret key changes on every request and the cookie is changed every request too. If you send a request but your cookie hasn't updated yet, the site considers that as request forgery and breaks the session. It is quite a high wall for CSRF and XSS attackers, but as I see it causes problems for many users so, seems like unfortunately we will have to lower our defence in favor of user comfort. May the Source be with you!

It happens when:
[list=1]

You are logged in with "remember me" flag

You send a request (e.g. click a link) and then without waiting for page to load you send another request (e.g. click a link again)

It is request and cookie forgery protection: a secret key changes on every request and the cookie is changed every request too. If you send a request but your cookie hasn't updated yet, the site considers that as request forgery and breaks the session.

It is quite a high wall for CSRF and XSS attackers, but as I see it causes problems for many users so, seems like unfortunately we will have to lower our defence in favor of user comfort.
