Hi, I hope this is the right place for this:

I have been experiencing now and then difficulties in posting comments. But these last few days it has been really difficult. Yesterday I spent about 2 hours trying to post a comment at In Wales' thread on the UK and the Euro. I simply get a time out after half an hour waiting.

This mostly happens in the afternoon, but sometimes even at the morning things seem to get "jammed" on me. I can usually read posts but not comment on them.

Given this apparent time dependence I would say this may be some server load issue. But from my experience at TOD:E we usually get hit bursts in the first working hours of the morning, right after lunch and in the evening.

I connect from different places, but usually through high-tech networks and don't experience such problems with any other website.

Thanks for any help.

What browser and operating system are you using?

I doubt it has anything to do with it, but its Firefox 3.0.5 on Vista Business.

That is odd. On occasion, the ET server goes down for a short time but this isn't regular.  I sometimes have trouble posting but that co-incides with difficulties loading up other websites too and sorts out once I reset my modem.

I don't think it is the server down, because the browser manages to post the request, it just seems that the server never answers back.

This is a bit unusual, I would say the web server is waiting for something else to answer

sounds to me most like your browser has a problem, try doing the same to here with ie, when you next get a problem posting from firefox. see if its a problem that is firefox specific.
