***I had NO idea it posted three times***

***FR is agonizingly slow***

Perhaps the server?

There is no user.

There is only HTTP Request (GET or POST)

For those who __ ____ __ ___;
a GET is like a REFRESH
a POST is like, well, a POST or a SUBMIT, or a SAVE.

That's it for now.

Anyway, this was a case of a user hitting the post button multiple times.

Notice the times on the 3 posts. That's impossible unless the user requested POST 3 times.

There are multiple ways to do alleviate this, and when FR is slow like it is now, I use all of them.
Either post on a separate tab or window, selecting POST there once and return to your main window.
Or post once and wait, do not hit refresh,
do not hit refresh.

This is not advice.
