    Can't reply to a thread...
    Every time I try to post a reply, it hangs for about a minute, then sends me to a blank page. Then when I go back to the thread, my post isn't there...

    I've tried posting in other threads and it worked, and I even changed accounts and it still wouldn't work.

    Although tbh my main worry right now is that 10 identical posts by me will suddenly appear at some point, because I kept hitting the refresh button :/

    My only idea is that perhaps the site was down briefly. Is it working now?

    For new members, posts they make including a link go into a moderation queue before appearing on the forum. This means they need to be approved by a moderator before they appear, which can take a bit of time. It's something we use to combat users or bots who sign up to advertise.
