Problems submitting posts

[Bill]

Just in the last few weeks, I've been getting a lot of errors when I submit posts. Sometimes I have to go back and submit again, sometimes I get a CGI Timeout. Sometimes, it just goes to a page can't be displayed page. Anyone else getting this?

Anything that you can do to fix this Steve?

The site is only tested on Internet Explorer, so if I were you I would use that for best performance with this site.

Steve... when you get a moment, you really should check out magic on Opera... it totally blows IE away

The problem is though, Explorer has a 99% market share, it really has become the default browser for pretty much the world.

In what way do you find Opera better?

Oh good... IE is where I'm having the problems. I've never used firefox on this... just IE. I was just saying I COULD use FireFox if needed. Anyway, it does submit the post, but it like just goes to a timeout... It's happening a lot lately. Any reason why?

to me, it seems much more stable. IE crashes frequently, and all is lost... with Opera, you get the option to restart the browser from the last page you saved at... and that includes all background windows.

I also like CTRL+Tab to get between windows and the mousestrokes are good


it also loads pages much faster than IE does, and has little tendency to freeze up when loading non-Roman character sets

When you say a lot, how often is that? Once per day, once per week etc?

Does it only happen on posting, not on reading?
