I have the latest FF browser.
I think the page never loads because the ad times out. About 3/4 of the time, the post works when this happens.

It's not ad-related. It's just a bug with the quick reply editor in older versions of vBulletin. I've experienced the same thing every so often on the official vBulletin forums as well as other vBulletin forums that have no ads.

Would this 'bug' also explain why I get kicked off sometimes when I change between certain parts of the forum? i.e. If i'm in the geek lounge, then I hit the software development tab....i get kicked off daniweb and have to re-enter my username & pw?

That's strange, that's never happened to me before. Do you have cookies enabled, and when you log in, do you have the 'remember me' checkbox enabled?
All I know is there was a bug with older versions of the vBulletin editor that have since been fixed, but we still haven't yet upgraded because it is a HUGE thing for us to upgrade, as you can imagine, so it's near impossible for us to do so at every minor version update.

I've got cookies enabled...and sometimes i'll leave the 'remember me' checkbox enabled. I had initially thought it was as a result of the ads...but apparently not. After I hit the refresh button I can resume posting and start to appear online again.

This just happened to me on www.programmingforums.org ... vanilla vBulletin installation, no ads, no fancy javascript features ... same database server as DaniWeb. Come to think of it, it might just be happening because the database is busy when you hit the submit button, and the db server doesn't acknowledge it went through in time for the Ajax quick-post thingy to be happy.

It only happens like once a week or so for me. Like 10% of the time.
