Redirect Page I've never seen before...

This post is a duplicate of a post that you have posted in the last five minutes. You will be redirected to that thread.

Hell, yeah! Is that new?

I find it ironic that my post about a feature that seems designed to prevent double-posts resulted in a double-thread

(I deleted the other one.)

I wonder why it doesn't always work, though? Where do double-posts come from, if that check is in place?

A fine question. I think they come from Santa.

Truth is, I've never seen that screen before!

That screen prevents the same post to be posted withing 30 seconds. I imagine double posts ahappen when people have to wait longer and keep hitting the post reply button.

It's not the "Two posts within thirty seconds" screen. I see that one all the time.

It's the "Identical post within five minutes" screen. Never seen it before.

You saw nothing! And never mind the huge cover up conspiracy that shall now commence to remove all traces of that which you did not see...

I've seen it once before, and I've seen the "identical in 30 seconds screen" quite a lot. It's not new to me, but I never thought anything of it.

If there's a dozen dragons, either most of them are minions or your DM is tired of the campaign.

Well, when one post loves another post verrrrrrrrrry much, the daddy post puts his subject line in the mommy post's - eh? what's that? you learned that already? Oh. Ok then.


I was feeling rather uncomfortable anyway.
