Anyone know why recent attempts at posting have been met by a 'Service Unavailable' window ?

I always do a preview before a large post, just in case this happens, then in case the back key doesn't work, you have a copy of your posting.

Good thinking Batman - the only flaw in this otherwise sound argument is that the Preview button attracted the same window [n]

No odds - hitting refresh will resend the data :)

Mine always pops up in another window, in Opera and Firefox. [?]

Yes but if you're going to get a service unavailable you're just as likely to get it with the preview window :).

Ah yes, but you can just press the preview button again and hope it works that time. Better than losing all your text when the back button doesn't work. [|:)]

As I say, pressing Refresh will ask if you wish to repost the data and then do so - so nothing lost.
