There have been a couple of times when I have posted comments, the message SAVING COMMENT appears next to the Circle of Insanity, and it sets and churns and churns and churns forever. If I go to another page, it loses my comment. Is that the AutoModerator or a technical glitch?
Clicking 'Save' again may cause a double-post. My comments have been hanging on 'Saving comment' forever all day today, but if I just wait long enough and then refresh, it'll have posted even though it never "finishes" saving.
When that happens, I copy the text and hit refresh. After refreshing, it saves right away. Works for me. Thanks for asking the question; I was wondering also.
After it happened the first couple of times, I learned to copy the post to the clipboard so if it gets stuck, I just post it again, but I can't just assume that I can hit the SAVE button and all will be well.
That’s just the authentication process, which seems to time out without a new page load for several minutes. Clicking save doesn’t kick authentication.win into action, but refreshing or loading any page will. Doing so, just like Evspra says, will allow you to click back to your still-in-limbo post, and hit save again. No need to copy/paste/refresh the page you were typing on. Ever since I figured this out, I’ve never lost anything, and don’t even find it to be much of a bother.

Same here with the circle of death. And I do wait longer than 5 seconds.
I fix it the same way.
Select all, copy, paste, save. I make sure the first one didn't go through though, so no double post.

Same here.
That’s also what I do. I’ve also noticed that sometimes my upvotes/downvotes don’t save as well.

Cooooool.
