Appears to be working for the moment... but sometimes it comes and goes so that doesn't mean much.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

In addition to the ongoing, periodic, Submit issue, at the moment, at times, opening forum thread links is extremely slow.

Same here, including the "View your posts" list. No apparent increase in server load or number of visitors, just seems to be slow response.

Yep.
The whole site is slow to non loading at present.

At least the KB is fully functional. ;)

A new area for me... posting a response to a PM ... did the same connecting junk like the 'normal' thread posting that we do... maybe it's being reviewed and that's why new issues are popping up?

The problem is only happening about once a day here atm, but I'll definitely test that theory if I start hitting this issue more consistently.

Happening basically all the time here... so, testing: :furious:
EDIT Well, now it does seem to work! Odd one, this...

In my past experience with systems and db's ... and disks and cpus and... well you get it... this type of on/off issue normally points to timing... and at least in past more or less... mainframe type systems... we had some pretty elaborate timeout/retry handles in our software and OS levels... sounds like something basic is missing here... maybe a setting(s) that need reviewing.

I hate to keep posting here.... yeah... I know... so don't post then :lol: ... but is there any update about what's going on? ... or are we stuck with this problem till the end of time... I feel like I'm always having to check if I did my job of posting - Yep, no, yep, no ... I'm already at the stage of wondering if I hit the toilet yet today (yep, I did) and more 'wondering' isn't good for old people.. it breaks down our confidence ... I'm 70 .... it's too hard on me :-" I only have so many mouse-clicks left in me and I hate to waste them on checking myself.... it uses up my trigger finger-clicks and I'd rather use it at the shooting range.

This problem hasn't hit me for quite a number of days now... is the problem fixed? ... or am I just lucky...

Anybody know if it was... and what the issue was? ... just curious.

Damn lucky. If mozillaZine was a horse, someone would have shot it by now.
