In summary, the conversation discusses the issue of being unable to post in a thread on the Physics Forums website due to persistent blocking by the Firefox browser. The individual is able to post normally in other threads, but not in this particular one. They suggest trying to log out and back in, but it is later discovered that this was not necessary and the issue resolved itself after half a day of trying. The conversation also mentions a humorous comment about how adding another post to the thread would change the rotation rate of the Earth.

When I try to post in the thread;
https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/what-would-it-take-to-eliminate-leap-years.1004452/
I am persistently blocked by Firefox browser with; "Oops! We ran into some problems. Please try again later."
I can post normally, before and after, in other PF threads where that does not happen. Why the difference ?
Adding one more post to that thread would change the rotation rate of the Earth so much that the post's question would become moot. :wink:

I did NOT need to log out and in again; Weird.
