Curious - What’s up with the duplicate posts? Seems like the frequency of these duplicates is increasing - or am I imagining that? Is this a FR issue or are we doing something goofy when posting to cause it?

If you are referencing Ransomenote’s duplicate posts, I believe her Q ping list is large enough that due to constraints in address coding she must send two posts to reach everyone on it.

To paraphrase Orwell, All posts are equal, some posts are more equal than others.

I am plagued with making double postings - not sure just what’s doing it! I’ve noticed others’ doubles too! Would love to know the answer!

Curious - What’s up with the duplicate posts?

I think I know why it has happened to me. Safari sometimes hiccups and doesn't display the web page I asked for (or not within a reasonable time). It seems to turns a click into a NOOP. Usually this is harmless. If you click again, the web page usually appears.

Sometimes this happens when I click the "Post" button. Then, when I click again, the Post happens. Unfortunately, sometimes (always?) the Post has already happened with the first click. Since I didn't get the feedback, I automatically clicked again and posted again. To prevent this, I'll try checking the forum in another window to see if the post occurred.
