When I try to post to threads, there is about a 10 minute freeze on the post in the political and non-AT poll area. Have I been placed in a special user category or is this a website problem?
Edited to add - one attempted post (to poll section thread on Is Iran's prez Wacko) has been frozen for well over an hour.

Fro, the office of Homeland Security is obviously checking you out. Illegally of course. Off to Auschwitz you go.:rolleyes:

Ya, seems like something is a bit askew, I have been double posting as of late and I thought I could delete my own posts. I then remember computers don't screw up, people do, so I let it slide. Or it could be Homeland Security ... Jorge ... Richard ... Donny ... can you hear me now ?

OK, I've found via trial and error that it is only happening when I try to post a longish post via the Quick Reply box and is happening in all forums. If I go to the regular post reply page, the post go thru immediately
I can answer this one.
On another web site of mine that I maintain on this same server there was a security breach late Sunday and on into Monday. Is seems that someone found a way to upload a file and turn the server into an IRC chat server and that caused the whole server to slow down or I should say load down.
The hosting company caught this on Monday evening and fixed it. So as Of right now everything should be back to normal.

Right...That's what Karl Rove told you to say.

If you look back, it all strated when you cited that story and posted the link to Al-Jezeera.
