Maybe this is a coincidence, but for three days I had problems posting. I timed out with both Chrome and with IE. This was true both on FT and MilePoint. Then I used my notepad and had no problems at all.
I went back to my PC yesterday and the problems continued. I tried deleting the cookies, but it did not help.
Then I did a system restore to five days earlier (before the problems began) and they disappeared.
