I'll have to pay attention to that thew next time.
As I said, I tried different browsers and devices.
Do you think the problem still lies with me?

It's happened to me a couple of times while at work. MB would be down on both my phone and computer but the other sites worked. When I tried using 3G instead, it got working again. I have no idea how to fix this problem, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

It happened again and it is indeed a time out error.
It seems it really is a problem with my connection/computers/settings.
So far I was unable to fix it, but I'll keep trying.
I don't have mobile devices, so unfortunately switching to 3G isn't an option.

I'm experiencing no such thing.

It's definitely nothing that affects all members.
People are happily posting while I sit in front of the blank page and cry.
I just though it might be a problem affecting my region.
But it most likely isn't.

I thought it might be. In cases like this, your router is having trouble connecting to MB, so switching devices won't help if you're using the same router to connect them. I'd recommend checking google for guides, since there are multiple things that could be causing the problem. The solution could be as simple as turning the router off for five minutes, but it could easily be something more complicated.

The good news is that time out errors typically come in waves. You get hit with a bunch for two weeks or so, but then you won't get any more for months. Sill, I think you should take my advice with a grain of salt, and hunt around on google for some reliable guides before you try anything.

I already tried out some googled tips. So far nothing helped. I'll have to wait for another time out for further attempts.

Have you tried unplugging your computer and then jerking off on the wall outlet? Usually works for me.

Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck.

Thanks for pointing out at all that the error lies with me. I'd never have thought about that.
