This happens occasionally. It generally just means that Splunk is having some issues under the hood with the site.

I just got an update from the vendor that hosts the site that the problem is stemming from an AWS DNS resolution outage, so other sites are experiencing issues as well. Thanks for your patience through this as they work through the problem.

Please dont think that Im upset haha Im not at all. I really just used this as a test while I was trying to figure out whether the issue I was having was on my end or not. Like I said, it told me it didnt post this due to timeout, which is totally fine, you can even delete it.
