repeated server error

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

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...
