Hi John,

I gave it a try after your reboot.
By entering this text in a few different versions and hitting the preview reply, I think I was able to make the server do some work without generating a lot of extra reply messages in the thread. I added and deleted a couple of paragraphs along the way.

I had numerous failures during a "preview reply" testing operation.
The symptoms would appear to be unchanged, but it really appears random.

The only other hint might be that the amount of time that my status bar displays "connecting to lugerforum.com" when I hit preview is pretty long sometimes. The messages "waiting" & "transferring" always zip by really quickly. (I ran this time from firefox)
I had one similar failure using the spell check feature - the window remained blank with "connecting to lugerforum.com" in the status bar. I closed it - hit spell check again and it opened immediately.

(just had four consecutive failures - the connecting message stayed up over 30 seconds, (this time I hit stop, then the preview button again.) once it did load after about 28 seconds of the "connecting" message on the status line. (four more failures when I really tried to post the reply, and three trying to EDIT for these updates.)

I don't know if these results help you or not.
Best Regards,
Fritz.
