Seriously, I'm not joking on this. Twice this morning I've posted something and gotten different versions.

The first time, I made a post in the Computer forum and got a notice saying (I forget the exact phrasing) that either

1. I couldn't make more than one post every 25 seconds and had to wait

2. That this was a duplicate post.

After a few seconds, the page automatically redirected and the post was shown as being made with no problem.

The second time, I made a post to the "Las Vegas to Laughlin" thread, and this time a page showed up with a big "Duplicate post" notice - and then again automatically redirected me and the post was shown as normal.

Am I somehow inadvertantly doing something wrong/different this am? Or is this a new piece of software that's popping up when it shouldn't?

Thanks in advance.

You can't post more often than once in 25 seconds and you can't make the same post twice in a five minute span.

1. This forum requires that you wait 25 seconds between posts. Please try again in 9 seconds.
2. This post is a duplicate of a post that you have posted in the last five minutes.

"1. This forum requires that you wait 25 seconds between posts. Please try again in 25 seconds."

Just happened again, this time when I went to post in the Chester thread in the sub-forum of B&M. And, this time, there was no automatic redirect. I had to reclick the post button.

Something odd is happending, because there is no way that I'm making posts within 25 seconds of each other.

PS: Same thing happened when I went to post this.

your finger must twitch too much if you're getting so many duplicate post messages.. Does this mean you are an alchy or somsin..?

very strange

I can overwrite the bold:

[B]this should be bolded but isn't ducy?[/B]

Nope, you got me on this one. Even using the show source clicky thingy, and reading the code, doesn't help.

I'm curious as to how you managed this!
