I don't recall which browser you are using, but if you happen to be using Firefox and also happen to have FireBug installed the Host in the Response for the Ajax SubmitReply call, along with the Time/Url would be helpful in finding a specific Log Event.
If not, next time it happens, could you respond here with the approximate time and a link to thread it occured on. We'll just have to brute force through all of the logs :)
TIA

Oh "banging on submit" gives me from time to time this nice red error message below the submit button (I have not the exact wording now), and opening another instance of the forum (which shows that I need to sign in) and signing in again on that new instance allows to click submit successfully (due to the refreshed session cookie I would assume).

Sigh. No, I know the different versions of "There was an error", I've had plenty of exposure. This is a new one, let's call it variety E. If I knew what exception on the server caused E, I would certainly document it. But all I got is "There was an Error".
