The other thing different is that last time, when somebody tried to post and got an error, the post number incremented anyway, leaving a hole in the database. This time it seems that's not happening.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sometimes when I get the error when trying to post, it posts anyway. Sometimes it doesn't (like just now when I tried to post this).

There are two pages called when posting. The first is what does the actual posting (it's called something like post.php), the second is the refreshed thread page with your new post. If you get the error while the system is trying to get the first page, it doesn't post. If you get the error on the second, it means it posted, but couldn't refresh the page. You can tell what happened by looking at the URL.

Oddly, I have to report that using both IE, and Opera, I've never lost a post in the last two days, even if I get the error message after hitting "Post message."
All I've had to do is hit F5 (refresh), and the browser automatically resends the form data (Opera), or asks me if I want to resend form data (IE). Either way, the originally typed post has gone through eventually, every time.

Same here (except only IE)

I've lost a lot of posts using IE.

This might be a clue.
If get an error clicking on Message Center, I usually get multiple errors until I click on Buffistas Home. I don't get any errors clicking on Buffistas Home. That's been pretty consistent. Obviously the message center needs to go through my account, which may not be much, but...something.

There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.
Okay, where the $$&#&(@#& are the developers?

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm getting the errors in netscape 7.02 for the Mac.
FYI, I guess.

As an aside - I am now using the wacky-ness of the Phoenix as my own personal Magic 8 Ball. "If I get an error this time, I am going to go eat another piece of office birthday cake." "If I lose this post, it's a sign to not e-mail that guy." ETC.
Kinda fun.
