There seem to be a LOT more multiple postings of the same messages lately. Do you know what causes this? Are there some suggestions you can put out to help us from doing this inadvertantly? It will speed things up if we don't have to wade through 6 or 7 postings of the same message...

I am so used to giving a double click with the software that I use that I find it very hard to give one click only.
It's a pity that these software providers can't get their acts together.
It would be quite simple to program a 'ONE SHOT' button
Unfortunately programmers are too busy adding useless bells and whistles to spend a little thought to getting their programs to work in the first place. The users shouldn't have to be forced to jump through hoops to get software to work.

I guess the current state software quality is a pet peeve of mine.

Enough of this bitching. :-)

OK, I know I did not intentionally post that second message, and I am also sure that Frank did not REALLY mean to post his original six times! I think I have figured out how it happened, though. Before going on to anything else, I hit reload in order to see if anything else had been added to the list before moving on to something else. Then a message asked me if I wanted to repost form data. Well, I had no clear idea what it was talking about and assumed that hitting yes was just part of the reload process. It is, but with the consequence you see above. Next time, I will say NO!!

DO NOT CLICK THE SUBMIT button again, thinking your message did not get posted!

OH! What's that shaking and rumbling sound I hear?

Sometimes, after I submit a message, I am unable to go back to the discussion page. My computer gives me a choice about reloading from my last message, or reloading the page. Whenever I chose the first option, I found my message repeated every time I had to reload.

I don't know why that happens. But when I chose the second option, everything's fine.
