Cannot add new Statuses

So all of a sudden while going through the Treebook project I can no longer successfully add new statuses. When I try to submit a new status the url changes from

http://localhost:3000/statuses/new

to something along the lines of

http://localhost:3000/statuses/new?utf8=%E2%9C%93&authenticity_token=%2Bc6Ij54sBafK0%2BmEguM3OTiYehuESpKcZhqqNhFZDRc%3D&status%5Buser_id%5D=1&status%5Bcontent%5D=Statuscontent&commit=Create+Status

and the fields are cleared but we stay on the same page. If I go to All Statuses the new ones are not added.

Can you shed any light on what's going on here?

What does your new status page look like? Is there a chance the method: :post got left out of the form?

Also ran into the authenticity_token thing - check your cache or try another browser....
