Increasingly I've been having troubles connecting to the ED server. I've lost several responses, also, when the server went down (apparently), leading me to feel embittered and despondent...

;^)

Seriously, is anyone else seeing this?

If you try to post when you have ED open in multiple windows (and maybe with more than one post draft pending), it can cause problems. I have lost posts this way. I don't know if this was your issue, or something new. Maybe try shutting down extra windows & see if it solves your problem.

Thanks but it's more pervasive. I often cannot access the site at all, getting a Mozilla "unavailable server" message.

The loss of posts comes when I have successfully accessed the site, have written a post, and press the submit button. Nothing happens, subsequent attempts to either submit or navigate to a new ED page cause no response either, and backing out of the page and trying again results in the "unavailable server" message again.

This would seem to mean that I lost server connection while in the process of composing the post.

It started intermittently maybe one month ago, instances have been increasing, and yesterday the site was unreachable for > 6 hours in aggregate.

Oh, well...!

Yeah, it sounds like something new. Sorry, but I have no clues to offer.

Thanks anyway.
