Jim,

A number of people in the lounge have reported problems posting from PCs today - the request keeps timing out. Might’ve a problem somewhere.

The server was fine when I checked. I will look into it, though.

Still not working from my PC - when you try to “Post Reply” in the forums, it can’t connect and times out. “Fast Reply” doesn’t have any problems, though.

“Post Reply” still isn’t working for me, on both home and work PCs, IE and Firefox, but does work with Safari on my iPad. No problems posting prior to Tuesday morning. I tried closing both borwsers completely and reloading BBTF, no change. I tried logging out and logging back in, no change.

My home PC was affected at the same time as everyone else.  Neither Fast Reply nor Post Reply work as expected.  They both time out 100% of the time.  Even reading the lounge from the PC often times out.

iPad works fine.

I can’t post at all on IE, but Firefox works fine.

Mainland works okay for me in Firefox. The Lounge “post reply” doesn’t work for me at all, I have to use “fast reply.”

Also, please post what browser you’re using, on which OS.

No problems here with Safari on OS X or iOS.

I have been having problems posting via Windows/Firefox, but I am not now. Typically the first time I try to post it hangs for a while and then either succeeds or fails, but gets better on subsequent attempts. Although a couple of days ago I could only read the forums and not post for the entire morning. For me there was no difference between Fast Reply and Post Reply/Quote.

Thanks Tiffytoes.

My issue is with a Windows 8 machine running Chrome.

Safari works for reading and if this goes through also for posting. Firefox on Linux was timing out trying to reach anything on baseballthinkfactory.org but could get to bbtf.org fine. Cleared cookies this morning and can read but not post from ff/Linux now.

I am having problems with loading & posting from droid phone. and both IE and Firefox.
Weirdly, the first attempt on droid always works: I go to site, and load a Hot Topic and it works ok.

Then, when I click on the next Hot Topic, it times-out. But if I click to another site altogether, and then
back to BBTF, it’ll work for one Hot Topic at a time, and I just have to repeat the cycle.

Strange, eh?

The server’s network has been having issues. I’m monitoring things and waiting for a response from them about the problem.
