After checking system logs and such for the errors that were cropping up on the discussion board software, I went in with my Windows computer today to try and find a workaround or fix.
Microsoft did an automatic Internet Explorer update on my machine last night, and now I can't duplicate the problem at all. No internal server error on logout, no 'permission denied' when trying to post. I didn't change any browser settings at all.
So, as always, let us know via email if you are experiencing problems!
