Posting troubles on mensactivism.org

All,

Some of you have mentioned in posted comments or by e-mail to MANN admins that you have had problems submitting comments or new stories successfully to MANN.

The problem some are getting is this: After typing in a comment or a story for submission, the user clicks "Post" (or whatever the submission button reads) and after a few seconds, a standard "Unable to display page" error comes up. Frustrating though this is it does not mean the text you have typed is lost! The thing to do when this happens is to click the 'Refresh' button on your web browser. [For the major browsers, this is the third or fourth button from the left at the top of the browser, and looks like two arrows pointing at each other.] You will then get a message saying you are re-posting this data and are you sure you want to? Click "Yes" or "OK", whichever is the affirmative response in the dialog box for your browser. The post should complete OK on the second attempt but if it doesn't, click 'Refresh' to try again.

I have had this problem myself occasionally and this always works to make sure my typing hasn't been for naught.
