(1) If you are trying to create a post on the WordPress.com home page here http://wordpress.com/#!/post/ then forget that please. Instead create posts only on your own dashboard here > Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

(2) Are you using the secure https:// login?
http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/ If not then try using it.

(3) Exactly which browser and version of it are you using. If you aren’t sure click here to find out > http://whatsmyuseragent.com/

Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

a. Try using the browser with all extensions or add-ons disabled

b. If applicable try updating the browser to the latest stable version http://browsehappy.com/

I'm still on training wheels when it comes to blogging or configuring WordPress but there is one thing I've learned, from personal experience, I believe to be worth passing on.

I fixed my Browser connectivity problem by reinstalling my Browser, Internet Explorer 9, for some reason it stopped saving WordPress login data correctly preventing my Blog from displaying properly or not at all.
I wish you well.

People are posting into that thread which doesn't appear to have any relation to our issue. It's confusing the Op of that thread.

Since both I and other members still have the invalid request issue when posting, I guess the issue isn't fixed.

Here are the three threads I found and am posting on:
Thread 1
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/why-do-i-get-invalid-request-everytime-i-try-to-publish-a-new-post?replies=11#post-951870
This thread

Thread 3
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/invalid-request-notice-for-new-post?replies=12#post-945374

When I post when my URL is
http://timesharevacationnow.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php
I do not receive the error. I am posting from my Dashboard when I do this.

However, When I post when my URL is
http://wordpress.com/#!/post/
I receive the "invalid request" error. I access my blog from http://www.wordpress.com and login when I do this.

If you are running Avir anti-virus then it has been causing issues too.

I use Chrome version 20.0.1132.47 and it started a couple of weeks ago. I have cleared my cache, checked my cookie status and certainly don't use BETA versions of anything, nor do I have plugins enabled on my Chrome. I've rebooted both computer and router in between attempts and it still does this.

Copying and pasting the same dialogue into a new "new post" usually resolves the issue, but is involving rather a lot of extra hassle.
