Anyone else having issues with Note Board Web Part not accepting new posts after April 2013 CU? On existing pages with Note Board Web Part, posting new message gets stuck to "Waiting...". When creating new page and adding Note Board WP to the page and posting new message, I get error "There was an error processing this request. Please refresh this page."

I can add new note through Tags&Notes --> Note board, and I can also modify/delete existing notes using the Note Board Web Part. Only adding new note from Note Board Web Part is not working. If I create new site, it works, it's just this one site collection root site where it's not working (also occurs on new pages in this Pages library). Also if I disable Security Validation for the web application in question, the Note Board Web Part starts working.

CU upgrade itself went smoothly.

I believe this ULS section refers to the error, as the RTEContents contains the string I'm trying to post to Note Board Web Part:

Any ideas how to start troubleshooting this? Why can it suddenly start giving me this error? Any debugging ideas are appreciated I cannot think of anything more to try...I cannot really recreate the site even, as it is site collection root, so what could I try?

UPDATE1

Forgot to mention, if I use Fiddler to look at the triggered javascript call (when posting new note board comment), I can indeed see it gets a OOB error page saying: "The security validation for this page is invalid. Click Back in your Web browser, refresh the page, and try your operation again.".

It sounds like something is interrupting the javascript call. Are there any other javascript libraries referenced on the page? Does it do it on multiple pages? – Mike Oryszak Apr 16 at 13:37
There are number of other javascripts (jQuery, datatables, etc.) BUT they're referenced in .master page, and Note Board does work also on other sites with the same .master. However, I did also try reverting .master to site defition without any custom .js references (OOB v4.master), but it didn't have any effect. – Jussi Palo Apr 18 at 5:24
Also other people are having this issue: blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2013/04/10/… – Jussi Palo Apr 30 at 6:47
There is also another known issue, not directly related with Note Board Web Part, but with Publishing pages that contain Managed Metadata fields: social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/… – Vadim Gremyachev Apr 30 at 7:01

Take a look at the following. It describes a bug that appears to be the same, http://jaredmatfess.wordpress.com/2013/04/23/sharepoint-february-2013-cu-cod-breaks-the-rss-viewer-webpart. I got the same behavior you describe after Feb 2013 CU, and this fixes it.

Just make sure the web part is last on the page. If it's above the broken web parts, it won't fix them. – Jussi Palo May 24 at 10:31

Here is another post with the same issue. There are some workarounds, although not a final solution, SharePoint 2010 FormDigest issue: InvalidFormDigest.

This is apparently in the February 2013 & April 2013 CUs.

function CustomUpdateFormDigest() { if(window._spPageContextInfo != null) { var $v_2 = window._spPageContextInfo; var $v_3 = $v_2.webServerRelativeUrl; var $v_4 = window._spFormDigestRefreshInterval; UpdateFormDigest($v_3, $v_4); } } CustomUpdateFormDigest();

Tried that on .master page and didn't work, will test it on CEWP and report here. – Jussi Palo May 8 at 8:45
