So since there seem to be ongoing issues with the site, I thought perhaps that a running thread of errors may be useful to the team in helping figure out what's broke on the site.
If possible,
So other than the annoying "Sign In" page when posting, I get this one as well when posting, though TBH I got it this time by simply trying to get back to the main forum page, so I found this unusual this time:

Actually, that's good, while similar looking, they are completely different errors.
I think if we keep posting these, the team can narrow down what is causing this.

I have seen that one more times than I can count. Sadly I am NOT exaggerating this.
The only thing that seems to help minimize this is to actually copy the post before I do hit the post button, and after having done this my posts will 95% of the time or better actually make it with out a hiccup.
But if I don't copy the post before I post it, I have about a 25% - 50% chance of the post going through.
Either my internet is crawling today, or both forums and GFW.com are having issues this afternoon.
Edit: Network reboot has resolved this.

This is a "Wait" screen. It shoud be a little more intuitive like, "Please Wait" but there you go.
I got this one just logging into the forum earlier today:

So I have been able to reproduce this issue with a new gamertag that I created yesterday. Unfortunately new users will be unable to post this issue. After creating new LIVE gamertag then attempting to sign in the forums. I have reproduced this issue with Windows Xp and Windows 7 using Internet explorer. I will do additional repro and report it. I have also preformed a trace.
Alll in all this can affect new members from joining the forums for help.
This is happening to me as well and with different browsers. Had a problem with this gamertag, but used another browser, was able to sign in, signed back out, then used IE8 and it worked. But not with the new gamertag.
No luck.

This actually happens to me some times, but usually when i am logged in on another passport based site on another account. Say I check email on account A, and then log in here, it'll kick back that error because it now thinks I am account A, rather then my gamertag's account.

I will do more repro and report it back. Can a passport open on the same network cause this issue as well or would it just be local computer?
