What Internet Browser (and version) are you using? OOPs I notice you have that down there.

OK it looks like it is a timing issue. Your browser is not getting a response fast enough and posting an error.

Try refreshing the page and see if that works. If not (and some browsers will only refresh the error page) try going back a page and then try it again.

I have been having some of the similar problems with Windows 8 and IE 10 but the above fixes work for me about 95+% of the time. Other times I have to close the tab and come back into the site again.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the suggestions. I've never really had these problems before, but yesterday I had to fight to get into the forums all day long.
