Duplicate posts

[David Tallan]

Ivar updated the forum software today (there was an announcement about that) and there are still some minor issues to be worked out. One thing that a number of us have noticed is that when you post something, you may get an error message telling you that your post did not succeed. Your content remains in the post editing portion of the page. All indications are that you should try again. But really it has posted. So when you try again, you post it a second time creating a duplicate (or triplicate in some cases) post. The mods are trying to weed out the duplicates (kudos to my fellow mods who have beaten me to them).

But my advice, at least for now, is that if you see the error message, refresh the page and check to see if your post has succeeded before trying to post again.
