When I try to submit a form in my django project, I get an error saying, "CSRF token missing or incorrect," even though I put a "{% csrf_token %}" tag inside the form.

Here is signup.html:

<html>
<head>
<title>
Sign up
</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="/signup/">
{% csrf_token %}
Name: <input type="text" /><br />
E-mail address: <input type="email" /><br />
Password: <input type="password" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Here is a part of views.py:

def signup(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        user = User.new()
        user.name = request.POST["name"]
        user.email = request.POST["email"]
        user.password = request.POST["password"]
        return HttpResponse("User created")
    else:
        return render_to_response('micropost/signup.html')

You need to add a RequestContext to the render_to_response function:

return render_to_response('micropost/signup.html', context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Reference: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/csrf/

I'd also recommend using a form class so that you can utilize methods like is_valid() and the cleaned_data dict once the form is bound.
