Fix to GoDaddy invalid request errors — A quick

Getting invalid request errors? Trying going incognito.

I’ve recently run into a few errors at GoDaddy that required a call to my account rep, and I’ve learned a quick tip that can help resolve the errors.

When clicking through links to confirm contact updates while receiving domain names from another investor, I kept getting errors that read “Given request is invalid. If you feel this is incorrect please try again.”

I tried a couple of things to get it to work, counting resubmitting my original request. But there’s a simpler solution to try first: use a private browsing window.

Apparently, these errors can be caused by caching. If you copy the link in the email to a private browser window, such as incognito in Google Chrome, it usually resolves the problem. It worked for me.
