About 50% of the time that I post now after hitting the post button a white screen comes up that looks like the thank you for your submission screen except it just says 'complete' then it forwards you to a completely white page and the post doesn't make it. This started a few days ago for me.

Wow, and here I thought it was my screwy connection. I've been having IE problems lately and thought it was that. I'm glad to hear that my computer is crazy or anything but at the same time it's not cool that it's happening to other people. It's been happening to me for a couple of weeks now. I just hit the back button then re-send my reply and everything works fine.

Flash,

It has been intermittent for me.

When it says complete, it's almost guaranteed the the post didn't go in. I have tried from the black screen backing up and trying to submit again. Sometimes that has worked.

But because you can back up, you also have the opportunity to highlight and copy the post so you don't have to type it again.

When I back up and hit the post button again (since I've figured out that the complete screen means my post didn't go through) it always works the second time.

It happens to me only if I disable referrer logging in my browser.

A personal firewall that defeats referrer strings will cause this type of behavior.

That might be the problem. I'm running Windows XP firewall and my router has an SPI firewall.
