Thanks. Sounds like a bug to me, although if you wouldn't mind testing that scenario just one more time?.... All the stray/unstoppable jobs the db server was doing finally timed out and utilization on it is at a more normal 2%.

Although, if you got your error messages *immediately* upon trying to submit your edits, don't bother retesting. It's not a timeout. It's a hard error.

And a head-scratcher. One thing I was very careful about in this version of SI was to make sure I wrote everything in such a way that it could be run on multiple webservers and would work correctly even if your bounced around between servers. iHub is not written that way and if it ever needs an additional webserver, it'll have to be very substantially rewritten, or will finally require putting to work the expensive load balancer I bought for it that's just gathering dust currently.

And the key thing in writing it so that users could be bounced around randomly on multiple servers is the avoidance of session variables. There are none. Variables exist only in the context of the page you're viewing. All necessary variables (your userid, for example) are repopulated at the beginning of every page.

And very little is stored in cookies.

What browser are you using? I need to go ahead and test this in the development environment, which throws useful error messages.
