Full Version: What causes double posts?
Yeah... good question! What does cause double posts?
Maybe micro lag in the process of transmitting the data.
Maybe people being used to double click too much.
Maybe a combination of the two aforementioned ones.

I've had it happen during a poor wireless connection. It goes something like: post the message, get a blank screen, click "Refresh" and wind up at a thread with a double post.
And as above, I think I have hit the "add reply" button, the connection was slow or spotty, and re-click the button thinking it did not register the first time.

Witches.
If it's not witches, I don't want to know.
Ok, I admit... It's me. I broke into the cold rooms storing the servers, spliced the line and placed a looped cable in it. Plugged an intermittent capacitor in the middle of the loop, forcing the occasional double post.

I believe that's the source of 99/100 double posts.
