BLF Problem -- Post times out after about 1 minute.

[SWAT One]

I've never seen this timing out thing before.  It's just a white page with plain black text in the top left corner saying "Your request timed out. Please retry the request.".  Its message seems to be specifically different than other messages I've gotten.  The most annoying thing is simply the minuscule amount of time it takes to go into effect.  It happened once as I tried to post this topic.

This is happening to me to. What ever caused this to happen really broked blockland forums this time.

Another interesting thing is that some avatar appear to be stuck in some sort of limbo, because the web-server is serving a recursive link rather than the avatar image.

Seems the one I posted is actually working now, so have a different example.

Yes, I'm getting this problem as well.

That's working too. I'm fairly sure this effect is fairly random and either changes across refreshes or over time (and quickly).

I saw that topic.  I didn't mention that here because that was already there.

Is there an authentication problem or do you have any suspicions that this is relevant to the recent attacks.
