Is anyone else unable to return to a forum after they post a comment? I don't know if it's just me or a larger problem with the board, but the re-direction hasn't been working on my end for the past few days.

Thanks!

Sometimes that problem has been caused by my opening a new window to write my post. But it seems, maybe, that it happens for other reasons too. I don't know.

I bet you did as I do, and navigate around and back.

I haven't had that problem. A while back when I would try to post it would say it didn't post and then when I would repost I get would get double or triple posts. Now when it says that I just exit the board, come back on and find that it did post.

By the way, the "Missionary Killed in Lebanon" post was double-posted this same way. After I hit the post button and was shown the "Thank You for Posting" page, I heard clicks one after the other. It obviously had posted twice (though I signed off and didn't notice till now).

Sorry I haven't been trolling the board to see this issue. Before I figure out the problem, let me confirm that there still is a problem.

Anyone still experiencing this?

Same today for me. Oh well. I just backed around. Could be caused by AOL being slow, and the computers not "shaking hands."

It usually happens to me when there is a lot of traffic on the site, so I thought maybe it was because two people were posting at the same time, and one got bumped. Without scientific knowledge we resort to magical solutions.

It happens to me every time I post still...not sure if there's a problem with my browser or if it is more widespread. It's really annoying and any advice on what to do would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I think the site just has problems digesting such radical West Coast ideas. . .

O.k. thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll try to look into it later today and see if I can get it fixed.

Sorry, Gang, I haven't been able to reproduce the posting error.

Could be that there were server problems for the past week or so, and they've since been resolved by my server admin.

Or it could be that a small sample of members happen to be making the same user error, resulting in double posting - (not likely cause I know how smart you all are)

Or it could be the heavy traffic issues. The Database that stores these posts is getting big. well over 100MB and it's getting put to work more and more. the larger it gets, the harder it has to work. My test was during a low traffic time so this is the only other possibility. I'll have to test later today.

at anyrate, if you experience this problem again, please e-mail me via the board.

OK, anybody have this problem--I log on. The "Bivalence" thread shows up pink and Alan Rhoda's name is there as having posted since I last logged on. Cool. I go to page 2 of that thread. No post by Alan. The last post on that page is my own (posted by me that last time I was logged on). I refresh the page. Still no Alan. I go back to "Active Topics" and it still shows that the most recent post on this thread was Alan's. I refresh the Active Topics page too. Still shows Alan as most recent. I click on page 2 where Alan's most recent post should be. It's not there.

Now I'm gonna CRY!

OK, now I'm mad. I logged on and off several times as well. Still the main page shows that Alan posted on the "Bivalence" thread at 3:31 PM today (the 11th). But there's NO post there when I go to that page.

Help?
