Have you guys instituted one? I've noticed of late that if I leave a post un-submitted for a period of time, then hit Post Message, I hit the Post.pl brick wall that I normally get with a locked post.

I think he's referring to the "it attempts to download Post.pl on some systems, and just gives a blank white page on others" not-really-an-issue.

I'm going to see if I can reproduce this in a moment.

Just waited 30 minutes before submitting a post, and it went through just fine. I'll try again over night, and see if it happens after longer periods of time.

Testing after an hour of having the post editor up.

If anything like this was implemented it was purely unintentional and would be considered a bug.

As things stand, it's looking like Pawk's connection is trying to do something weird instead of it being a forum-end issue.

Went through after 9 hours, so it seems this is not an issue.

I was mainly asking because it seemed new, and I only leave a post open and unattended for a long period at work. So it was either something with my work Internet, something with my Firefox, or something with the U3 system.

In troubleshooting, simplest -> most complex is the best route of troubleshooting, so best to see if there's been some server side change.
