When forums problems will be fixed?

Question
-
Hi everybody,
A couple of weeks ago I started to receive 'Unexpected Error' on about every second message I try to post. Other users also complained. I just want to tell that the problem is still present and it makes the forum experience very unpleasant. In addition, quite often this error appears when marking a reply and if the reply is marked with that error, it ends up without any history and the person who's response is marked doesn't get proper credit for that.
Can you please tell me when this bug is going to be fixed?
Thanks in advance.

Workaround (not a fix):
- Propose. Doesn't work.
- Refresh. Shows it's proposed but no date stamp.
- Unpropose.
- Repropose. All is normal. You can see the date stamps, mark it, etc.
EDIT UPDATE: This is being actively worked on by the forums team.
Thanks!

There are some such as this that cannot be marked as answer.

If you're a moderator in that forum, perhaps you can just move that thread to the suggested forum? That's what I would do in this situation in addition to suggesting a forum.

1. This is a very complex workaround and I think very few people will do this.
2. Due to this bug we keep loosing points.
BTW, today I don't get my points at all. I lost 125 points already (may be more).
