The last two posts I tried to submit brought up a page informing me that the post had certain security tokens missing. There was nothing unusual or different in my posts. I simply went back a page and submitted again - successfully. What is this ?

Its an FG page not a browser page so it presumably indicates it originates with this site
I use Firefox

It seems to have something to do with cookies being accepted by your computer. Whether thats due to firefox or the forum software is the question, but it is happening to others.

I have your security tokens.
I will be dangling them as bait.
You will become my puppet.

What do I have to do to cash them in
Anyhow. You know "security tokens" is a euphemism so what exactly are you dangling ?

Ahah! Would this explain why I'm having trouble posting links here since I upgraded my Firefox?

It asks me what I want to open it with and then says it cant. I've only tried it once and was able to post (it was a repeat) by going back over my old posts and copying from there no problem. I am a technotwit of the first order, so I just put it down to incompetence. It was from the BBC website, which I've never had trouble with until I upgraded my Firefox yesterday.

You're using windows, correct?
