I put in the updated code and try to leave it so you can see it and I get this pop-up?

Invalid request token / possible request forgery (error 4). If you received this message in error, please go back, refresh, and try again.

I'm not sure about the error you are getting
Invalid request token / possible request forgery (error 4). If you received this message in error, please go back, refresh, and try again.

\that maybe a server error - you could ask/post on the support board for the admins to check on it
