Actually, the scenario I posed is not correct. If it were, the message would have said "The form is too old. Please GET it again.". There are three possibilities. If the form was gotten more than an hour before submission, the message is as above. If it was gotten less than 5 seconds before submission (i.e., by a robot), the message is "Please take a few seconds to fill out the form before submitting it." The message your user got, "You must GET the form before submitting it.", indicates the hidden 'sub_form_token' either was not present in the submitted form or was not of the correct format. This could indicate that there is a subscribe form for pypy-dev on some web site somewhere that does not generate a correct 'sub_form_token'. Basically, such 3rd party subscribe forms are intentionally disabled by this feature because otherwise they could be submitted by robots. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
