Anybody else getting a white screen saying "Request Timed Out" when they attempt to type anything more then a sentance or two?
I was in the MPV section of the forum and tried to respond to a thread, happened twice. Typed a simple one sentance reply and it got through.

The hosting seems to be going through one of it's funky spells.

Research shows that waiting it out is the best course of action. :roll:

Quite a bit lately. For ordinary posts I have taken to copying the text to my clipboard before submitting so I can do the post more quickly if I have to do it a second time. For more elaborate posts, such as those with photos and/or clips, I enter it in part and then edit for the rest; typically twice.

That is exactly how I'm dealing with it too.

I've had one episode of an interrupted post and one episode of getting kicked out.

And while this current issue is not nearly as some in the past, I am considering an upgrade of service levels from our hosting provider. Right now it's something to throw on the pile, but moving on that sometime after the new year is a serious possibility.
