SDMB, this is your friendly NSA representative. Just to let you know, we are TICKED. We are trying to defend America’s freedoms here by keeping an ever-watchful eye on your board’s [del] shenaigans[/del], [del]plottings[/del] activities.

Your recent message board performance is gumming up and crashing our billion dollar Cray machines. Please fix ASAP. Kthxbai.

Except nobody in this thread asked for a time line for a fix. The OP asked what happened since “yesterday” and if he had been banned. The rest of the responses were varying between somewhat helpful responses and jokes. The blanket post **Tubadiva** cited was more than adequate to answer this thread. Perhaps you thought you were posting in a different thread?

I guess maybe that explains it.

Try reloading the page. It was doing that to me, reloading the edit window page would then post the quotes.
