Security Token, most actions stop at http://martialconversations.com/pages/security_check/

[LanceW]

Hi all (Dirk/Daniel),
I have 0.8.5a installed at http://martialconversations.com/ and have
come across a problem I am not encountering on my dev installation.
When I try and create new discussion topics and/or try and bookmark a
link, I get the security page ( http://martialconversations.com/pages/security_check/
).

How does the security token work?
Any ideas why this would be failing on my server but not on my local
install?

If you are logged in, a security token is written to the database
everytime a view is rendered. This security token is also appended to
forms and links. If such a form is submitted or a link clicked, it is
verified whether the security token in the request is identical to the
security token in the database. If that's not the case, you get the
"security check" page. See also AppController::ensureSecurityToken(),
Identity::isCorrectSecurityToken() and Identity::updateSecurityToken
().

No :| Maybe Dirk has an idea what the problem could be...
