Try to post, hit submit, it hangs for about 15 seconds, then goes to the page that says you have to wait 60 seconds to post again. AGAIN? I’m only trying to post ONCE. But I don’t hit submit on the 60 seconds page, that would result in a double post. Instead, I backspace, reload the page, and SOMETIMES the message posts. Is anyone else getting this?

We’ve been having some issues with the software and the server. This has manifested in all sorts of annoying ways, like the experience you just mentioned.

The situation is being investigated but as of yet I have no news to share with you.

We apologize for your inconvenience. It’s a trying time.
