    Hi,
    I’ve been away from work for a day or two, and when I returned today and tried to add a new event to the calendar, it went to a page that just says “Security check failed” and the event does not appear in the calendar. I’m not sure what could be going wrong, since everything was working very well the last time I was in there. Any ideas?

    Okay that was strange… today it’s working no problem.

    I guess you can disregard my message!

    If you were away for a couple days, and didn’t refresh the screen, then you had an out of date nonce (number used once), which is a security feature that makes sure that requests are valid. They expire, so if it sits too long, you’ll get a security check failure, exactly as you did.

    That makes sense.
