    I've noticed many duplicate posts over the last few days. It hasn't happened to me, but I see many on the threads, and often from experienced members. Is this indicative of a hosting problem? I wonder if there is a connection between this and the recent slowdown of PC?

    I have experienced this twice over the past two days and unfortunately the user does not have the ability to delete the double post. I have just deleted the duplicative content and injected an Oops...

    Most certianly yes. I did it yesterday because PC was so slow to respond that I didn't notice and I pressed the submit button twice.

    It happened to me earlier today.
    It has happened to me before.
    I want to blame it on the host computer/server.
    But I can't with any certainty.

    I think it has to do with my sometimes being lazy and going out of the
    reply window to retrieve a site address or photo from the Internet in
    the same Apple Safari tab.
    It has never happened when I use a separate tab to get the stuff I want.
    I would save the embarrassment if I always drafted the whole post in
    TextEdit and copy/pasted it into the reply window and then fiddled the
    links.

    But, human nature being as it is, I still wanna' say the !@#$% host
    computer/server did it. :eek:

    I frequently see that PC runs slower than the two other, smaller auto forums
    that I visit regularly.

    I wish I could be more specific, but for the most part computers,
    Internet, etc are magic to me. :confused:
