    Default duplicate posts

    I noticed quite a lot of duplicate posts by different members and it seems like many of them are Junior Members. Maybe I just coincidentally stumbled over a lot of those in the past or maybe it's a problem on my end of the line? Displaying some posts twice?
    Anyways, anyone else noticed stuff concerning this?


    Examples:

    That's usually because sometimes it takes anyone who's posting takes a while and they click on Reply and then it'll post it two or three times. It's a problem with people who are impatient or accidentally hit the Reply button twice.

    I know where it's coming from, but it seemed like a sudden burst to me, so I thought I'd ask if anyone else noticed this or if it's just normal behaviour and it was just coincidence that the last three threads I saw had them.

    Hello all,
    One solution to this would be to impose (very) strict flood control.
    Thanks

    I doubt the forum software perceives double posts as a flooding. Because there already is a flood control applied to everyone.

    You could alwayqs increase the waiting time between posts, but I don't think that 'll be user friendly.

    Most people will probably learn from their mistake.
