posts and edits timing out
I've been trying to post a not particularly long message and it's been timing out instantly when I click on the "post" button. At that point, I get a message to try again but all of my previously entered post text is lost.
After this happened several times, I decided to try to post in smaller chunks, doing several short paragraphs separately. I managed to get my first sentence or two posted, and then I went back to edit in order to add text. This time when I clicked on the post button, FT again gave me the timing out error message and it DELETED what I had previously posted.
Editing obviously should not delete the post one is editing. If FT really did time out, shouldn't the previous version of the post remain in the thread?

FT just timed out three times as I tried to post the above message.

Fortunately I was able to save my text and not have to reenter it by using the back button. This did not work on the previous thread where I was trying to post. There the back button gave me a blank box.

Same problem for me (and I've gotten to the point that if I am posting, I copy the text just in case using the "back button doesn't work but it is also happening when I click to open a post or forum or click the "post reply" button for this post (happened 4 times)

Now I'm getting a lot of "page cannot be found on server" error messages.
FT also won't let me click back to a post which was quoted.

These are occurring for me too, and with moderation issues making it difficult. On occasion, a reply will go dead, or give me a 404 or even "no such page" issues.

We had major network issues yesterday.
Should be back to semi-normal today on FT but other sites are reporting sluggishness, timeouts and errors, so we may have to be patient a while longer.
Thank you,
Paul
