LES ROBINSON SUPPORTS OUR COACH

while I havent seen it with threads, i have seen several posters lately with a similar problem on regular posts.

but someone gave me some advice, if it hangs or something, then i should check it with another browser.

thats good info for others too

Years ago I hypothesized that this was because they were not enclosing the entire post thread / post reply operation in a transaction block, more than likely using seperate queries for reading the flood control timestamp and pushing the post / thread data.

If so, it'd be possible for repeated clicks of "post reply" or "post thread" to be processed vaguely simultaneously with all of them receiving a cached flood control timestamp from the backend -- this would only happen during transient load spikes or periods of sustained load (e.g. "when shit is lagging").

In fact, assuming they're using a db server that isn't fatally flawed this is pretty much the only way it could be happening, and in the past I've tested the hypothesis by intentionally multi-clicking when the server appeared to be under heavy load to see if I could induce multiposts and, lo, I was able to.

[Edited on October 29, 2008 at 3:02 AM. Reason : I suspect they'll care as much about my hypothesis now as they did then, though]

Format your HD and try again.

You've admitted hitting refresh or repeatedly hitting the button. If you think that isn't related to you making all the threads then you're just being ignorant.

I've occasionally been impatient or dealt with lag and made a double post, or even probably the occasional triple post...but never the decuple post

10/29/2008 5:40:09 PM

speaking of something obviously wrong, why the fuck can't I make a new thread right now?

I get the oh shit error every time I try
