Now that I think about it, I think the better way to go may be to launch a new window for the posting operation, leaving the old one right where it is at. The user goes (...)

  Re: Double posting.
 
(...) Additional thought, can you close the window when the posting is complete without errors (none of the newsreaders I use put up anything for successefull posts - in fact, in general I hate having to click on a "your action completed (...) (26 years ago, 1-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Double posting.
