News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Ask HN: Is anyone else having significult difficulty posting right now?

I just spent a few minutes trying to submit a comment. After submitting, I would end up on news.ycombinator.com/r with a blank page. I assume there is some post-POST redirect that is failing to be sent, but the comment doesn't even seem to be being submitted. Similarly, I tried to edit the same post, and got sent to news.yc.com/x without updating the post.

I've noticed the whole site is a bit slow today. Are there significant server issues occurring?

(Sorry for the meta post.)

I couldn't even see the ask page before---did that have to do with my "activity points"?

Could someone point me to an explanation of the user configuration terms? (e.g. noprocrast, minaway)

Not just slow, but down completely at times.

yes, seems really slow from my end too.
