When I try to edit an album, I always get:

"albumedit" Cross Site Request Forgery blocked"

It just started happening today, it worked fine yesterday and I don't think anything changed on the server. I cannot edit my images, its really frustrating.

    I'm traveling right now so I am logging in each night at a different location(same laptop), does this matter?

    It is a security measure to prevent access from outside to the backend. The url has a specific generated number appended that acts as a kind of authentification (in simple words).

    Without basci info about your install we cannot really help. Please see the "general contributors guidelines" on our user guide.

    My installation version is 1.4.4.8. Can I disable this feature in the admin temporarily?
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    No, you can't. Also you should upgrade.

    Could my internet connection at the hotel be the issue? It wasn't happening until 2 days ago.
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    Yes, that very well can be.

    The requestor IP address must be consistent or a cross site forgery will be suspected. So if your ip address changes from request to post (Or what is presented as the ip address changes) the POST request will be considered a hacker attack.
