  I can’t publish a draft post. Keep getting the message: “There was a problem communicating with the After the Deadline service. Try again in one minute.” But waiting and trying again doesn’t work. BTW, what is After the Deadline?

  Well, I see that a couple of other WordPressers recently had the same problem.
  Apologies for not finding their requests earlier, but I was more than a bit frantic.
  First attempts were in Firefox 10.0; switched to Safari Version 5.0.6 (5533.22.3), got the message once, waited for a while, tried again and then it worked!
  The question still remains, why did After the Deadline suddenly become an issue?
  All best regards, Catherine

  There might have been a temporary glitch with After the Deadline. However everything should be ok now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  Hello, Yoav, and thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
  I see that After the Deadline is a plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/after-the-deadline/) — but I didn’t install it. Is it automatic? Still curious. ^_^
