Just got a report from a new user that they are unable to post after making an account. I was able to reproduce this myself with a sock account.
Repro steps:
1. Create new account.
2. Activate account.
3. Attempt to create new topic or post.
4. 500 Internal Server Error.
Console Log:

Sorry about that. We released a security fix last night that included a regression in some code I wrote earlier this week. I’ve pushed a fix and it’s currently deploying to all hosted sites so the fix will be available shortly.

Thanks @eviltrout. If you wouldn’t mind posting again when deployed successfully, I’ve got a user that’s been PMing with me that I’d like to inform of the fix.
