i am getting this error when trying to update an alert for a user in the team discussion list. My code is : 

    SPUser user = mysite.OpenWeb().CurrentUser;

    SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
    {
        SPSite site = new SPSite(mysite.ID);
        SPWeb myweb = site.OpenWeb();

        string id = this.Page.Request.QueryString["RootFolder"].ToString();
        string[] rootfolder = id.Split(@"//".ToCharArray());
        myweb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
        SPList mylsit = myweb.Lists["Team Discussion"];


        SPListItem item = mylsit.GetItemById(21);


        SPUser curruser = myweb.EnsureUser(user.LoginName);
        Response.Write(curruser.LoginName);

        SPAlert newAlert = user.Alerts.Add();
        newAlert.AlertType = SPAlertType.Item;

        newAlert.Item = item;

        newAlert.Properties["eventtypeindex"] = "1";

        newAlert.AlertFrequency = SPAlertFrequency.Immediate;

        newAlert.Update(false);

The only thing I can see of note is the "! Important" section in the below MSDN article on the RunWithElevatedPrivileges function:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spsecurity.runwithelevatedprivileges.aspx

It would seem you are doing some form of writing, and may not have called ValidateFormDigest?
