Posting question with stale LiveID causes it to not post...

Question
-
I have a work PC and a home PC and I use MSDN forums from each. It seems that when I come into work (or home) after using MSDN forms on the other PC, that my posts don't immediatly stick on the server. It will take 2 or 3 times for me to repost my message until it applies.
Also, sometimes when I edit my replies I some how end up at a HTML blob of text with a checkbox that says "Resource.HasCodeLabel" . It's clearly not meant for the enduser, and is more of a sysadmin page, but that's what happens...

Now I'm having an issue where every time I try to edit an exsisting post, the resulting text is blank! Even when I click on html view that is empty too.
currently on Win 7 IE8

I see 2 issues here:
1) Posts doesn't show up. Question: Which page do you go to view your posts? Do you go directly to the Forum or "My <>" pages? We're experencing delays in our backend servers where posts or contributions you've made are delayed when you go to your "My" pages. If you go directly to the Forum, it should show up right away.
2) "Edit my replies I some how end up at a HTML ". When you click on Edit in launches our editor control which is triggered via javascript. Have you disabled javascript in your browser? If not, do you have 3rd party apps that blocks javascript? Have you added *.microsoft.com in your trusted sites? (browser settings)
Thanks.

#1) I think I need to be more clear by what I mean 'when a post doesn't show up". Oftentimes I will reply to a message (just as I am doing now) and then I hit submit. Sometimes all that does is refresh the page and I loose the brilliance (or insanity) of my post. It is probably not in the same line of troubleshooting you were going through.
As a workaround I am in the habit of doing a select all, ctrl C on all posts just so I don't loose my information.
#2) No this issue is sporadic, unpredictable. Javascript is always enabled, and *microsoft.com is always allowed. We do have a proxy between myself and the internet @work. The brand is the popular "Bluecoat" proxy.
Both issues occured on Windows XP (IE7), and Vista (IE7). It hasn't yet occured on my home PC running Win7 -
