Can't connect to server

(1) Have other BC members been experiencing the same error messages that I have been receiving here on the BC site off and on for the last 3 days?

Error message (in capitals): CAN"T CONNECT TO SERVER

I get these messages from time to time when answering shouts, and after I click "return to Discussion" on forum threads, and after I click to submit a comment to a discussion thread. They don't last long before the issue resolves but they are annoying.

(2) Is Admin aware of these error messages and what may be causing them?

  I haven't gotten this error, not once. But this is something needs to be fixed at BC's end. Did you email them about this?

  No not yet. I'll wait and see if the problem is wide spread or not. Also as an Admin avatar has shown up in the sidebar I probably will not send an email.

YES!!! It's so annoying! It only happens when I try to get to the discussion board though, the rest of BC is fine...

yes! I've received those a few time after I click to add comment. But, I'm just multi-tasking and popping in and out all the time .. just means I pop-out sooner than later ;D

NOTE: it's best to let it NOT connect, and hit RETRY ... otherwise if you hit the BACK button and click again - that's where the duplicate posts are coming from
