Try clearing your browser cache and clicking on a link to the pages you are submitting. I just looked at your site and considering I am on 2 meg broadband your thumbnails do take a long time to load compared with other sites. If the submissions script is one that checks images then this will be where the timeout is.

This is a dedicated server and currently only that domain is on it (I moved everything else to a new server). However, I have had problems with it in terms of speed and reliability, which is why I moved. I figured it would be a good server to experiment with tgp and free sites, since I had no idea what kind of traffic to expect and didn't want to tap out my new one. I did try clearing my cache, as well as using IE and Firefox and even Windows 98 and XP Pro on 3 difference machines. Nothing helps. Both servers are Windows based. This one is 2000 and the new one is 2003.
