    I'm getting this problem too, but only when I try to post a reply on a thread which includes a quote from someone else.

    (Just discovered it's happening on normal replies too, just taken me 11 attempts to post this)

    Cookies have been cleared and still getting the same problem :(

    Also, is it just me, or is the whole of MSE running slow? It's taking a minute or so for each page to load up!
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    Please could you PM me and let me know which pages you are browsing that are running slow, which browser you are using, and who your ISP is? That would be extremely helpful. Thanks.

    not necessarily meeps/ someone on techie said the same using FF/ i use both FF and Opera 11 and can report no issues with speed here -- although the awesome Opera is faster - for me !

  • For those concerned. Virgin Media has been experiencing intermittent routing problems today. This means the data traveling between you and us may not necessarily be traveling via the quickest route. It may even end up being sent down a dead end. Resulting in some data going missing and causing errors.
