'_xsrf' argument missing from POST

When I click on

"New Text File", or "New Folder", or "New Notebook"

this error pops up

'_xsrf' argument missing from POST

Quantopian should really come up with some recommendation what browser to use, etc. Redirect problems, cookie problem, just bugs like this. It's very frustrating.

Same issue, any word on this?

Try cleaning cache, cookies, restart browser, reload page

I had this problem with some adblock plugins (like ghostery) editting the page JavaScript. Try disabling them on Quantopian.

Also, some plugins that clear cookies can do the same (like Cookie Autodelete), after some time spent on the page. This is because some cookies are needed for external sites. The plugins fail to detect the xsrf token as being needed and delete it from the browser's local storage. this results is stuff being refused by the CDN.

hope this helps.
