Firefox & AskMe problem

February 13, 2007 2:33 PM

I can't post on AskMe - on the preview page, hitting Post just reloads the preview page. Firefox 2.0.0.1. Not seeing any error messages either.

My post finally did go through after about 10 minutes. The same thing was happening here on MeTalk. Is the site just slow today or is it my computer?

Can't post an answer/comment? Or a new question?

I couldn't post a new question here or there.

It took a minute or two for my AskMe to show up also.

Rather, I obviously could post a question... I was just getting a reload of the page when I hit the Post button.

IIRC, someone posted a MeTa thread a week or so ago about this exact issue which was closed immediately after he posted his thread finally posted.

I think I just fixed it, lemme make a test post.

Ok, fixed.

When you hit post now, it eventually leaves you at your question page (it takes about a minute to show up on the front page). This is how it works on MetaFilter.

The incident before that.

This happened to me a few days ago. I hit post and I just kept getting directed back to the preview page. I hit post several times, same thing. I came back later and my post was magically posted, and with a link fixed that I had screwed up to boot.
