 * I am having some trouble saving a long post I am writting. I type it all up and
   then press save. It takes ages and then thinks I am trying to download a page
   called “post.php” from my own server. It doesn’t display that the post was saved
   or anything.
 * The actual file it sends me contains nothing. I think it might just be because
   my server is getting a bit slow today but I was wandering if anyone else knows
   of this problem?
 * Thanks for any help. I have got visual text editor turned off and I am usign 
   several plug-ins but they have worked in the past without any issues so i don’t
   think it is them.

 * What happens if you go to Options -> Writing and remove some items from Update
   Services?

 * My page isn’t loading at all now. So I am presuming it must be due to my server.
   I have contacted them to see what they have to say. I will post with their reply.
 * Even my ftp software can’t seem to connect.

    if it loads for you
   please say.
 * EDIT: When I try and load the options page it takes ages. It then displays a 
   blank page and tries sending me “options-general.php”

 * It’s a shame the previous writer ended up switching to TextPattern because of
   this unresolved bug (I’m assuming that’s why).
 * I continue to suffer from this – my ping list is EMPTY and that has had no effect.
 * Currently using WP 2.04 and FireFox 2.0 – I keep hoping that one or the other
   will update me out of this problem.
 * I’ve looked at every solution offered, from the realistic to the far fetched –
   all have “seemed” to work for some, none have worked for me.
