Hmm, no new posts showing since about 10:50 am CDT. (And also, oddly enough, I can attempt several “New Posts” searches in a row without getting the “Wait X seconds” warning.) It’s now about 11:20 am CDT. Does posting new threads work?

I’m seeing new posts, and am still getting the message. Though sometimes these things affect some but not others.

Hmm, well that was very odd. Looks kosher now.

Yes, I noticed some odd behaviour about an hour or so ago. The latest post in the Who Killed Jesus thread in COSR wasn’t showing up on the front page. It could be read by entering the thread but when I tried to Reply with Quote to the post I just got the normal Reply box up.

All fine now though.
