AZ Forum has connection issues..

yeah, they have an unreliable web host I believe. Nothing to do with what browser you use. Every so often the hosting service just fails to handle the load, and pages time out.

Always a blast after writing a lengthy post to get the 404 page.

Mike can try complaining to them, for all the good it will do :P

Am I the only one who gets this fairly often?

It's annoying as heck. It usually happens three times in a row.

Anyone else?

Heck,
I did not know people still use Internet Explorer at all. Anything might happen using that for a browser! Mozilla Firefox is the real deal. And the only way to go. That is all I use.
Many Regards,

Copies what you have selected to your clipboard. If the post fails to happen then you restart the message and use Control+V to paste your original message into the new post.

Keeps you from having to redo the whole thing...

The beauty about the Internet, is that there's always -- and by design it has always been about -- CHOICE. As much as Microsoft tried to monopolize it with their browser (I.E.) and software, they failed.

So no matter your platform (whether PC, Mac, Oracle Solaris, Linux, etc.), there's Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome (my personal fav), Apple Safari, Opera, and several others that are little-known by comparison.

What's cool about Google Chrome, is that although I also have the "[Ctrl] [A], [Ctrl] [C]" trick embedded by habit (whenever I fill out all HTML forms by the way, not just posting to AZB), with Google Chrome, I can go "back" in the browser, and it will maintain the contents of HTML forms (that is, stuff I type into the form), as long as I don't end the browser session. (As a security precaution, Chrome wipes the contents of previous sessions when Chrome itself is exited.) So with this, if you try to post to AZB and it fails, simply go "Back" (click the [Back] button, or use the [Ctrl] [left arrow] shortcut) and your "Reply to Thread" HTML form is right back to where it was, before you clicked [Submit Reply].

Interesting that Microsoft's newest incarnation of I.E. (the one you're seeing commercials for on TV) looks *EXACTLY* like Google Chrome as well. Makes one scratch his/her head, and go "Hmm..." ;)

P.S.: to answer the "are people still really using I.E.?!?" question, the answer is yes. In a corporate setting, if the company has implemented Microsoft's SharePoint product, many of the integration features -- where you work on projects online -- work only with I.E. Of course, the finger points firmly at Microsoft for that one, as there's no reason that can't work with other browsers.

Sean,
Comodo Dragon is very similar to Google Chrome and is, I think, more secure. And, I haven't used Firefox since I started with Chrome/Comodo Dragon quite a while back now.

Microsoft has made a living copying others and then pointing you to their stuff with the OS. they are not getting away with as much lately i dont think though.
