Tim, was that necessary?

The raw content of Eric’s two posts differs only in these three lines...

...which would indicate either a server hiccup or client hiccup. The real question here is why the duplicate-post detector on the server didn’t detect the duplicate post. I forget what algorithm it uses, but there is a cache of recent posts it compares any incoming post with.

While I do not have the links handy, I could swear that I have seen a few duplicate posts over the last few days, Not just Eric’s.

I just thought of something while posting this, and proved my theory (I should have done it in .o-t.test but I honestly did not think it would work), it can be caused by clicking post a second time while waiting for a response from the server.

Perhaps a screen immediately displayed when post is clicked via the web interface would prevent this. After all, since things have moved to the new server the response has been noticably slower when posting.

My $0.02,

Jude
