"Error: Invalid viewstate." upon attempt to save profile change (w/ change to logon email)
-
FYI: I updated my profile (for the first time), attempting to change the email address for my account. When I clicked the save button, I got a webpage that showed only the plain text below: Error: Invalid viewstate.

Thanks for the reply. I tried just now: similar error. This time, I tried both Firefox (3.6.3) and Internet Explorer (8.0.6001.18702), and both gave me "Error: Invalid viewstate" messages. Notes: I've recreated this error ("Error: Invalid viewstate") in varied sitations, to eliminate variables: -- Same/similar, from 2 pages on your site (both in the membership area, details below). -- Same/similar, in multiple browsers -- so, it's probably not browser-related. -- Same/similar, from both home and work -- so, it's probably not connection-related. -- Same/similar, on both my laptop and my desktop systems at home -- so probably not the computer.

At the bottom of the page, just under the bottom banner, you'll see a label showing the current server you are on (Mine currently says "Web22", for instance). Can you check which server you start on as well as which server you get the error on? The other issue that may be causing the problem is: do you have any anti-virus or anti-spam add-ins in your browser or on your system? What about your firewall?
