Is anyone else having problems posting? Everytime I submit a reply it takes literally about 3 minutes then I get an error screen. If I go back and refresh the page the post is there. As a result I keep double posting.

Is this just a problem specific to me and my computer?

**pez** - I was having the same problems around noon, so it wasn’t just you. It’s mostly a function of too many people trying to do too much at once; getting hoisted upon the petard of our own popularity, as it were.

Just as a note, though- once you hit the submit button, 9 times out of 10 your post will go through and be added, even if your screen never gives you a confirmation or gives you a time-out error.
