[SOLVED] Error when logging into forums via web using new account

I just registered a forum account but get the following error when trying to log in with the provided password in Google Chrome:

Bad CSRF hash. You were referred to this page from an unauthorized source.

I have tried clearing all site data and refreshing Chrome but I still get the error.

I am trying to use the Archlinux Forums app for Android to see if it will let me post this issue.

You mean it didn't work when clicking a link in a mail?

What does that link look like (general structure) and what MUA do you use?
One trap yuo might run into is that if you're using a CLI MUA (mutt etc) and rely on the link support of your TE, if the line gets wrapped that'll likely shorten what the TE interprets as part of the link, you're simply opening the wrong uri

I use Gmail. I was getting this error when just navigating to the main login page and entering my credentials. I just tried again now and I was able to log in OK so I guess the issue resolved itself.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.

Now I met the same problem. I can't login because of "Bad CSRF hash. You were referred to this page from an unauthorized source.". I can reset my password via email, but when I will login with new password - the same problem. I tried many times. Then I login to wiki.archlinux.org and then (coincidence?) I can login on the bbs.archlinux.org

"Bad CSRF hash. You were referred to this page from an unauthorized source."

Edit:
First: Apologies for the necro
From FireFox, I can login. Guess I'd use FF for forums ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
