Firefox NoScript effects on Private Messages

Hi there,
For the past couple of days, I thought I was losing my marbles... some PMs that I'd attempt to send wouldn't get sent and wouldn't appear in my sent box or when I'd attempt to post a message I'd get "Invalid Thread" message. I believe the issue is caused by the latest update (1.1.4.7) to the NoScript plug-in for Firefox.

Upon sending a PM for example, I noticed a little popdown message from NoScript that says it filtered a cross-site scripting attempt from an untrusted origin. The popdown is pretty small and doesn't appear until the next page is fully loaded so I missed it a couple times. The technical details appear in the Console window for NoScript.

The fix is to open up NoScript's options, choosing Advanced and unchecking "Turn cross-site POST requests into data-less GET requests" (which is checked by default).

Just thought I'd share.

I don't have this option on mine (although as far as I know I don't have this problem). perhaps this is just a problem with older versions of NoScript
