I've seen it too--USUALLY trying again (or clicking on an alternative link--like "most recent post" instead of "newest unread post") seems to work, though it didn't one time (this morning I think). It's not as bad as the last round of errors, but it definitely is a forum issue not a single user's computer.

I've had the same problem in the last few days. I had to try several times... and then sometimes ended up with triple posts to "Palantir of Fortune".

Happened to me two days ago or so, and it gave me a fright, but refreshing the page worked well enough. Okay, and now it seemingly happened again. But the workaround: before you submit your post, select and copy the whole text of it, and in case it shows you the error, just refresh it and paste your text and try again.

Still, it is slightly inconvenient, so I'm wondering what is the source of the problem and if anything can be done about it.

I blame Peter Jackson, because....well, just because.

Seriously, could it be connected to the higher than usual number of visitors, coupled with the recent upgrade?

Never got it before, but it happened today. Refreshing the page was enough though.

I'm still seeing the message. Refreshing once or twice does allow you into the site, but it happens again when clicking on a thread, or when going to any other part of the forum. Vexing!
