Default Now having trouble posting to a thread

Title says it all. Could not post to a C6 General thread at approximately 11:45 AM CST today, with Firefox. Went through all the motions, but forum never took my post after I clicked on "Submit New Thread." Just kept getting the message in the lower left corner of the screen saying "Waiting for forums.corvetteforum.com."

Hope this thread fares better.

Does the thread actually appear later? I've seen the same thing before where I either reply to a thread or start a new one and Firefox just sits there.

I can back out with the Back button or simply close the browser and restart it and what I had posted is there. I have also opened a new window and gone to the same post and what I had submitted appears there.

IE has done the same thing and I just chalked it up to some router not passing the data packets in a reasonable time frame so everything looks like it hung up.

In the past, that's what would happen to a post I made - even though I closed the window and left the forum, the post I tried to make was in the thread when I came back to it later.

But not this time. The post I thought I put in the thread was not there.

Have not had that problem this afternoon and tonight, but every 2nd or 3rd thread I open takes 30-60 seconds to open.
