Just curious. About 50% of my posts hang and hang and hang, and sometimes they post. And sometimes they don’t.

Run into that myself a lot. Try waiting about a minute and then retype the forum address into your browser (or use your menu bar shortcut) to get back to the forum front page. You should find your post is where it’s supposed to be even though you got no confirmation.

Works for me most of the time.

Mine usually post, but this board hangs more than any other I use, by far.

The hanging seems to be caused by long URLs, which do not break. I’ve gotten better results by using the forum’s tool for creating named links.

Put me in with the hanging group. It doesn’t matter whether I use Firefox or Safari, and it’s been happening for well over a month.
