  Hi John,

Could you please confirm the following?

1. Your browser never returns (hangs) when you try and post by
   * Starting a new topic, and
   * Adding a post to an existing topic.

Correct.

  2. Left to its own devices, your browser gets a timeout error.

No it sits inactive - nothing happens in the browser, even thought the
post has been logged at OLG and the email has been sent to that effect.

  3. The browser you are using is Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.14, running
   on Microsoft Windows XP.

Yes

  4. You *always* get an email message when you post.

I think so, that's never been a problem.

  5. You are not running an http-proxy server on your own network.

I am running Trend Micro Internet Security. I looked to see if that was
the problem.
I turrned off ALL the Trend Micro protections, and restarted the
computer.
Opened the browser, and sent a message. Same problem.

Let me try Internet Explorer. System works on IE.
The post took about 30 seconds to process, but the screen did return to
the posting page showing the new post

I can see from our logs that my fourth point should be a lie: a duplicate-post
has been detected from you on at least one occasion, and that should not have
resulted in an error. Can you confirm this?

I may have stopped the browser and reposted, when I wasn't sure what
was happening.
