Posting an FPP results in "robust exception" errors

Posting an FPP into the blue results in "robust exception" errors and redirection to the front page sans post. After several tries, it finally worked. Loose bolt somewhere?

I'll check into it. The likely problem was the page died when creating an updated RSS feed and refreshing the database cache of the front page. The front page posts get refreshed for everyone no matter what every 10 minutes, so if that process died while making your new post, it would take 0-10 minutes to show up.

I also had this happend when I tried to make a first post into a new thread. Obviously it resolved itself because there are now comments in the thread, just not mine :(

(I've tried to post an FPP 4-5 times in the last few minutes and no dice; same experience as moonbird)
