I have to push the submit button several times before the message gets posted. I keep getting the preview window.

I am waiting longer than 15 seconds. Still keep getting the preview window.

Is this happening every time you try to post, or is it only happening occasionally?

I can't seem to post in the Forum Games. Seems to be working OK here. Could it be the length of the message? Does coping and pasting make any difference?

Forum Games? Not surprised, lol.
That happens to me all the time in the Forum Games section. Honestly... you might need to count to 15 slower. That's what I have to do and it can get frustrating.

To clarify, you cannot submit a post in less than 5 seconds after the reply page is displayed. This is unrelated to the spam deterrant of 15 seconds between posts. In other words, you need to wait at least 5 seconds before hitting the submit button. You're having this problem in the Forum Games forum because you're probably posting a very short reply, and doing so way to quickly. Simply wait a few seconds, then click the Submit button. Even though 5 seconds sounds like no time, it's longer than you think.

It only happens on the home computer-slow connection, AOL, problems with Windows Vista. If I use another computer it works fine.

Yea, that happens to me sometimes too, but not really that often, so I just ignore it usually.

If the preview comes up,

always works for me...
Only works good with fast internet though

When it happens to me I just usually just scroll down a bit and press preview. Works for me
