When I try posting new topics, the forum seems to hang. I can see in a separate window the post has been made successfully even though the window I'm in just says connecting at the top and eventually times out. I'm not the only user to notice this problem. So far I have tried to empty the forums cache and to rename the cookie. I also tried following the advice in this thread, but my session.hash_bits_per_character is already set to 4 and my Load.php file already has the suggested changes. The problem only occurs when posting new topics. Logging in/out and replying to topics works fine.

If you have the Akismet mod, uninstalling that will solve the problem.

For us newbies a small explanation on why it happens will go a long way in educating us.

I have no idea why it happens exactly, but that mod has a specific bug, and I happen to recognize the symptoms :)
