Why can't I suddenly post a comment under an answer?

Is this happening to anyone else? Or is it just me? I get a message saying "Comment could not be posted. Try again later." It started hours ago and still won't work.

Update:

No, the question is still there. Yes that has happened to me before where I was answering a question but while writing my answer, it was deleted so I get "Answer post failed" or something like that. But this isn't that and question is still there.

Update 2:

Ok, I tested to try and leave a comment here. I had written a few sentences and only "I'm testing" showed up. That's what happened to me right before I got the message of "comment could not be posted" I had written a comment 1 second earlier and only part of my comment showed. So then I immediately tried to post the rest of what I was saying, which is when I got the "comment could not be posted" message. Must be a glitch. I was at first having trouble with YA in general, now it's just comments.

    I haven't run into that yet, but I may not be blocked by anyone. I need to be more controversial.
