All! We've been having a lot of issues with timeout errors on geekhack, and in the Classifieds subforum in particular.
If you receive an error while creating a new topic (or posting anything), please open a new tab to check if the post went through. What happens most commonly is that the post actually does go through, and you wind up creating multiple topics.
In most subforums you'll eventually see it, or at the very least someone else will catch the duplicate threads and report them for deletion. In the classifieds subforum, however, these posts are hidden to only the moderators and the thread creator, so there is a much smaller group of people who notices it. This causes quite a few threads to pop up and need to be cleaned.
So if you're posting a new thread (Classifieds or anywhere) and receive an error, please help to prevent multiple threads being created by double checking.
If there are any questions directly related to this, feel free to post them below and we will address them as needed.
Thanks!
