This is Tokerboy officially delurking.
I tried and failed four times to post this to the Village Pump. Since the other night, when the random page bug was widespread enough that the Main Page was updated to reflect a way around it, Wikipedia hasn't been keeping my Login across sessions. Also, starting just tonight, it freezes up my computer (IMac OS 9.2.2 running IE 5.1 for Mac) whenever I press "stop" while it is trying to do something; the reason I am doing so is because it is taking an inordinate length of time to save, though it hasn't actually said it failed. I let it try for ten minutes last time, and the progress bar didn't even begin, and my cursor didn't change to a spinning wheel (which means it's doing something on a Mac). Am I the only one?

Ryan,
No. You are not alone. I have had very similar symptoms myself and I am using IE6 on a vanilla PC, without the "freezing".
