Error posting to the forums

[eluser]Phil Sturgeon[/eluser]
As I said, happens all the time but seem rather random. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.

The only constant I have noticed is that it randomly happens at work, but NEVER happens on my laptop at home.

Work

- Proxy
- XP SP3
- FireFox 3.0.x

Home

- No proxy
- OS X 10.5.x
- Firefox 3.0.9


Who knows.

Update: As I was posting this message I was redirected to a page which showed me HTML in plain text. The page content was...

Code:

                  &lt;font color="#0067C6"&gt;&lt;b&gt;No response from server&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/td&gt;

Update #2 My 2nd attempt to post a message using quick reply and it has sent me to the Post Reply page with no content in the box. Good job I am used to copy/pasting my messages before posting.

This cannot be an isolated issue, its happening quite a lot recently.
