Apologies all, I hit at least seven times and finally had to walk away as it hung so long with no indication it even posted, so really I shouldn’t post at all, but can’t seem to resist trying.
What I’ve been doing is keeping a second window open when I post. If I get a timeout, I check in the other window to see if my post made it through before trying again. Also, I select and copy my text so I can paste it back in again if it gets lost. Saves cuss words.
