losing posts

[Kyamo]

In the last week this keeps happening to me. I type my post, press submit, and the "Please wait" box comes up as usual. But then nothing happens, the screen just sticks like that on "Please wait", my post never gets posted, even if I wait an hour. Then I need to press Back or Reload to get things moving again, which means I lose my post and have to retype the whole thing, which is very frustrating. I would estimate it has happened about 1/3- 1/2 the posts I have tried to make in the last week. Before that it never happened.

Some info if it helps:
I am using the reply box at the bottom of the thread, not the new screen.
I have the BB code option activated.
I am using Chrome on Windows 7.

Thanks for letting me know, Kyamo! I'm really very sorry for the inconvenience. I've lost several posts this way, and I know how frustrating it can be. 

If you have a chance to give us any of the information from the list below, the easier it will be to diagnose the issue. I understand that not all steps are always able to be reproduced or remembered, but the more the better. We really appreciate your assistance in making the site as user-friendly and reliable as possible.

Sorry, I didn't take one. But it looks exactly like the "Please wait" that shows up on every post, except it doesn't go away.
