This happens from time to time, it's mainly due to the DDoS prevention mechanisms in place, so if too many people connect at the same time some of the connections are throttled, and you'll get an error. |

From time to time (maybe twice a day for the last couple of weeks) when I submit a reply I get the following error message:
Usually I hit back, then submit, and end up with two copies, one of which I then delete (usually because I write such long-winded posts I don't want to risk losing it all!) Not a major PITA but annoying nevertheless, so thought you should know |

related to this problem is the ability to delete a post - this functionality seems to have changed several times recently.
A while ago the "delete" button mysteriously disappeared and the "edit" button balloon popup text changed to "edit/delete". However, in edit mode I can find no way to actually delete my post completely. Then it went back to the old way with a proper X button that did what it said on the tin. ...which has now gone again! yours frustratedly. E <edit> OK this is annoying now - I can see the X in this particular thread but could not (and still can't) in this thread: http://www.security-forums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31567 I am viewing both threads right now as tabs in the same Firefox 1.03 session. When I view the link above in IE 6 SP2 I also can't see it. Is there some sort of rights over which forums allow post deletion and which not? |

How do I edit or delete a post?
Unless you are the board admin or forum moderator you can only edit or delete your own posts. You can edit a post (sometimes for only a limited time after it was made) by clicking the edit button for the relevant post. If someone has already replied to the post, you will find a small piece of text output below the post when you return to the topic that lists the number of times you edited it. This will only appear if no one has replied; it also will not appear if moderators or administrators edit the post (they should leave a message saying what they altered and why). Please note that normal users cannot delete a post once someone has replied. |

Eliza, what you are describing indeed seems odd, it would look to me as a bug. What happened was you posted something, then posted again by mistake, and when you tried to delete the second post you were unable to do so, correct? |

I've also learned that even when the internal server error mess pops up, the post still goes through. |
