 * Hey!
    Is there a simple way to add an overlay when submit is pressed? right now
   it takes a while (30 secs) and i want to limit the user from doing anything on
   the page and to show a gif of loading in an overlay or something… any ideas?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fform-submit-overlay%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Glad to help. So there isn’t a built-in function for this, but it would be possible
   to add a simple JavaScript/jQuery snippet that would do it. To give you an idea,
   here is an example showing how to [add an overlay with spinner upon form submit](https://plugin-planet.com/usp-pro-jquery-snippets/#usp-overlay).
   Note that this snippet isn’t officially supported in free version. Also note 
   that you may need to modify the selectors to accommodate the form used in the
   free version. I hope it helps give you some ideas.
