    Different Issues when posting

    Recently, I've noticed two new issues when posting. FYI

    1. I will receive an error page (can't recall the wording) with an option to resend. If the resend option works, no problems. If not, you can try again & again until either you give up or it eventually works. I've gotten this error when replying to posts, updating my own threads, and even in PMs. The error is intermittent. I have not noticed any pattern, but attachments seem to make it happen more often than when not having attachments.

    2. Updating threads where attachments are concerned. When activating the window to upload attachments, typically no problems unless you need to upload 2+ attachments. The 2nd attempt just causes the upload action to spin. I've given it up to a minute (out of curiosity), but just keeps spinning. I eventually have to close that window. The only way I've been able to add additional attachments is to save the thread, re-edit and add another attachment, rinse & repeat. Unfortunately, the error mentioned in #1 often occurs between saving & re-editing.

    Edited: Another member mentioned that #1 appears often in FireFox but not Chrome as far as he can recall. He also noticed #2 in either browser. However, I've noticed the problem in Chrome also, but with one caveat ... didn't have an option to resend, needed to hit the browser's back button which often results in losing whatever you just typed for posting, depending on auto-save. Happens enough that I've become accustomed to doing Ctrl+A,Ctrl+C just in case, before clicking submit. The loss of the resend button may be unrelated though. I use Chrome in an environment where IT has really locked down nearly everything. I use FireFox on my home PC.
