I'm up to my 15th pull request or so, and almost every time I do Pkg.submit("PackageName"), the opened webpage is missing the green "Create Pull Request" button. I have to refresh to make it appear, then I can go through, but today it just refuses to cooperate. I have googled the land far and wide in search of a brother or sister with such an ailment, to no avail, and so I ask myself, is there is some mysterious magic in Pkg.submit that might bring about such a ghastly curse? I'm on OSX and it seems to be a problem with either Firefox or Safari.

Example? (i had today some intermediate github problems with connectivity and functions)

Sorry, I don't know what kind of example I could bring except for a screenshot with a missing Create Pull Request button.

In any case, I hadn't realized that github was having issues, the green button reappeared for me and I could make the PR.

Note that you don't need "the green button". You can just select your branch from your fork and press "New Pull Request" next to it.

I filed this bug with github some years ago (having to refresh to see
the button), but then it stopped happening for me. I suspect there's a
race condition somewhere.
