    Now it hit me too. And this is definitely a new issue, and I run an old version of firefox (34.0.5), and I haven't changed anything.

    I make a post via the Quickreply, it shows the js waiting thing (the circling circle), and then it vanishes. But instead of showing the post as it used to, nothing is there, and when I refreshed, it had posted twice.

    Edit: And this post went through just fine o_O

    Same issue. OS X Yosemite, Firefox, and I haven't updated either in a while. The strange thing is it's intermittent - sometimes "submit" goes through like it always does, sometimes it hangs forever but if I refresh out, it's posted. I'd say it's about 50/50.

    I have this issue in social group posts as well, was trying to get some work beta'd, waited for basically 10 mins before I closed the page and reloaded it. Lo and behold, it had been posted somehow. Was pretty troll.

    edit: also on osx yosemite, on firefox. issue only comes up when I hit "go advanced."

    I also had similar problems changing my signature recently, coming to think of it.

    It's strange that you're experiencing issues on the latest Opera. Opera uses Chromium as its base.

    Hmm... Try changing your Opera Turbo setting. If it's on, turn it off. Or visa versa.

    Yeah, got it a few times as well today: Sending pm, posting, logging in to move some posts.

    Apparently with going back and trying anew a few times I managed to send one pm four times - without once moving onward to the confirmation page.

    Firefox 41.0 on Windows 7

    I'm having the same problem as Lungs. It's also doing this laggy bit in my pm's. I can post replies to threads as normal, but as soon as I hit 'go advanced' - game over.

    Currently running Firefox 41.0.1 on Windows 7

    Same here. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Advanced most likely doesn't, however, and just now even the Quick Reply gave up on me for a moment, though I made it work in the end.

    Win 7; Firefox 41.0.1

    I've been making observations on my posts and found the following:

    1. Quick Reply, Advanced Reply, and Preview all result in the same behavior of taking an extremely long time to process and eventually leads to a timeout error.
    2. If I hit the submit button, and close the browser window, the post will finish publishing immediately, as verified by opening the thread in a new window.
    3. If I hit the submit button and let it load forever, it will eventually give a server timeout error, but before the error appears, the post will not finish publishing, as verified by opening the thread in a new window.

    Same error here. I was trying to post a longer comment in Politics. It took forever to post, and attempts to edit the post cut off all characters past a certain limit and stuck an "LS" at the end of the post. Edit: Funny thing is, I didn't have the same problem with this post.

    It's now broken down completely for me. Posting, preview, editing, even just switching from Quick Reply to Advanced -- nothing works. This is super strange, since nothing has changed, on the forums or my setup. What is even going on?

    I've completely replaced our web stack with the most common, well-supported stack used on the web today. It should work better. If not, let me know and I'll start digging in.

    Kinda testposting here, hope it works out.

    I've hit Go Advanced, and Preview Post.

    Yep, preview shows up.

    edit: edit -> go advanced works as well.

    Thanks Raven!
