Can't post a new forum thread for ASP

I've tried submitting a new post, but when clicking on the "Post Message" button, the pop-up does not post, nor does the pop-up box go away. I'm not sure how I should post something on the site.
 
Can you help? Thanks.

I'm also having an issue when trying to make a long post.  Something like this post is fine but anything quite long with code in it and it just times out.

After spending about an hour to post this

----------------------------------------------------------
If you have your data (perhaps after filling some cells with VBScript
code) in an Excel table (sheet), it's fairly easy to export this to a
pipe-delimited text file by using

(a) Excel automation

     Use the macro recorder to get the code to export the sheet
     into a text file paying special attention to the specification
     of the delimiter

     Port/Translate the recorded macro code in a simple Excel
     automation script (cf.
           http://www.visualbasicscript.com/fb.ashx?m=84683
     )

(b) ADO

     Specify the format for the text file in a schema.ini file (you
     could use some of the information from your .xsd)

     Connect to your Excel .xsl via ADO

     Do a SELECT resp. INSERT  INTO ExternalDB statement

Writing your own interpreter for .xsd files is way more complicated.
----------------------------------------------------------

I'm fairly sure that simple text with just a few punctuation marks or
special characters (slash, dot dot dot, to name a few) is too much
for the parser that handles the input. Evidence: the preview doesn't
succeed in that case neither.

This
     Do a SELECT resp. INSERT  INTO ExternalDB statement
Started as
     Do a SELECT slash INSERT dot dot dot INTO ExternalDB statement

I couldn't preview or save this text as long as the last line had
the 'masked' characters.

This is happening for me right now. Internet Explorer and/or Firefox, I am not able to reply to posts, use PM or attach as a file to PM. It seems like it's length-based, but I cannot confirm the same. I've sent PM messages to contacts, but cannot post a longer message.

Frustrating. Please advise.

Okay guys :) The forum software has been upgraded to the latest version, this should fix some bugs, please let me know if some problems are found
