Hi

Since the new authentication system I can no longer access VPhot using the Safari browser on my Mac. I get:

Forbidden (403)
CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.

I've cleared my cache and changed various settings but nothing works. I use Safari every day for work and all sorts of other sites and have not encountered this issue before. It works fine in Firefox.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Guy

A temporary workaround

Hi guy,

Thank you for writing. We are aware of the issue and are attempting to address the problem. As a temporary workaround, both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox should work without issue.

Regards,

Brian
