This may be more of an FYI but I thought I ought to mention it.

Good thought!  Thanks for mentioning this problem!!!


I recently Installed Netscape 6 and have been posting without a problem
for a couple of days now.  Today this message was posted as a duplicate
doing something I have done with Netscape 4.7 without a problem in the
past.

What I did was I posted the origional message then I used the "Back"
button to go back to news.lugnet.com.  I then, being my paranoid self
forgot if I had clicked post after previewing the message (this has
bitten me more than once), Clicked "Forward" to see the message
confirmation page.  Doing this seems to have resubmitted the post using
Netscape 6 where doing the same thing in Netscape 4.7 did not result in
a duplicate post.

Eeek! -- that's worse than any accidental double-posting thing that MSIE
ever did.  It resubmitted the form without asking you whether you wanted
to resubmit?  Yikes!!

OK I guess it was my bad,  I just tested it and it does come back with a
warning message.  It must have been me being "OK" happy when I got the message
the first time.  So it does warn you although the only choices are "OK" and
"Cancel" so it won't go forward without re-posting the data.  I suppose that
works just fine here but it might not be so good with some other apps, I don't
know.

Anyway problem resolved,


Eric Kingsley
