Tried three times to post in the WRS week 69 thread and I could not. I get a message saying "a security token was missing". I logged out and back in and no change. The "contact the administrator" link in that message sent me to the news page here.

???

edit: It took two tries to post this thread.
 
Yeah, ran into that problem myself a few days ago… had to force-reload a thread several times before I could post in it.

I've had this a lot too when posting, normally I press the back button then submit again and it works. I'm using the latest Firefox update if this helps.
 
Could you all describe what you were doing in more detail when the message was displayed? For example, were you using the quick reply box or the "Advanced" message composition screen? Were you trying to attach any files to your post? What OS/browser are you running? When, specifically, did you first notice this happened?
 
I'm using firefox 3.6 (I think!) I have had it using quick reply, advanced reply and once when sending a PM. If I hit back on the browser, my message is still there and when I hit submit a 2nd time works fine. I noticed this on Sunday first time (although I was away for the week so hadn't posted anything for a few days before then). If it happens again, I'll try and grab a screen shot.

I was in advanced reply, but I had started that reply in quick IIRC. The other possible option is I started in quick but then wanted to quote so I grabbed my text with Ctrl-C and backed out of Quick Reply to click the Quote button on a post, and Ctrl-V'd my text under that quote, then finished writing and clicked post.
No attachments of any sort, just text.
OS = Vista
Firefox 3.6 (I think), newly upgraded this morning is certain.
This issue is from this afternoon (GMT-5) for me, and I do get the security token message about 1/10 times since.

edit: first time I had this (in the WRS area as stated), browser back didn't have my text saved any of the three tries I made.

edited for spelling
 
It's happened 3 times to me this morning, once when sending a PM and twice when uploading photo's (hence my new album only has 3 pics :lol: ). I took a screenshot for reference.
