repeated server error

from Stardock Forums
When trying to leave a comment on Cerebro's "PowerUserTV" gadget, I get this error repeatedly. Thought this error message might help a little:

Thank you for the error report.  However, I'm not having any luck reproducing the error.  If anyone else is having the error please respond here and let me know.  Please provide as much information as possible. Thanks.

I just commented on it, no problem in response to one by Mr. Spook.

(thanks for the attempted comment! )

Ok, I think it was at my end ...ZoneAlarm Pro appeared to be blocking my access, as I hadn't set this site as trusted yet. I fiddled around in the settings a wee bit, and was able to get the comment through. Funny how it allowed me to comment at the forums without a problem though.

Sorry for the bother T-Man. Really.

Another bit of trouble. Here in the forums, the "new post" icons just dont seem to go away for me no matter what I do. So far, I've read every thread on this site, but every single one has the "New Posts!" icon beside it. Kind of a funky bug... Hope its not just on my end...
