 * Hi Josie — when our judge logs in to the judging page for our current competition,
   this error message pops up:[JR003] Permissions invalid, may have expired. Try
   reloading the page. I have not encountered this before. Can you help me out? 
   Thanks!

 * If this really appears when the judge first logs in and loads the page, there
   is something wrong, and you should perhaps check your error logs.
 * But if the judge loaded the page and then came back to it a few hours later, 
   it is exactly what I would expect. WordPress creates a special code called a “
   nonce” that is included in a protected page. If you try to submit data from that
   page after too long an interval, this message is generated.
 * It’s a security feature, to make sure the data is coming from the right page.
 * Not a problem — just reload the page, and so long as you are still logged-in,
   the nonce gets refreshed and you can go on working.
 * The help text on the judging page does try to emphasize this, but not everyone
   reads it!

 * Hi — having a problem with this again and it is persistent. My error log shows“
   EWZ: ewz_get_judge_count_callback, verify_nonce failed.” The judge can be logged
   out for a couple of hours and log back in and get this message. Any suggestions?
   Thanks!

 * verify_nonce failed means the judge’s access to the page expired. It’s a wordpress
   security feature.
 * Make sure the judge saves before leaving the computer.
 * They should be able to reload the page, and see everything as it was after their
   last save.
