Simple-Press breaks Log Out links

I did a great deal of testing to figure out the cause, and on my site, when Simple-Press is enabled (even if every other plugin is disabled and the theme is set to twentytwelve), any Log Out link results in a WordPress Failure Notice. The page that says: 

You are attempting to log out of HerbMentor

Do you really want to log out?

Clicking the link results in a Server Error. If the site is visited again, the user is logged out, but this is a HUGE usability bug. 

Simple-Press isn’t set up to allow people to register, and the Login/Logout redirect settings are blank. 

PLEASE HELP!

which logout link?  please be specific… wp log out links need a nonce… ours do include a nonce, unless you have overwritten our defaults…

Any and all logout links. The one in the header of the SP forums. The one in the default WP meta widget. 

I just did another round of testing with disabling themes and plugins. Looks like it’s not Simple-Press after all. False alarm! Keep up the great work. :)

cool…. thanks for the update… yeah, a few versions back, wp change how logging out works… so any plugin or theme that didnt update to use a nonce will have an issue like that…
