Because the server is so slow i have spammed the topics i've tried to post on so i'd like to apologize if i messed up your topics. I didn't mean to but the server has made me disconnect every five seconds.


:cry: :cry:

When the server lags up, it's best to leave it for a couple of minutes and try to go back to the topic you were viewing. Chances are that your post went through, but the server never got round to redirecting you to the 'Message Posted' page.

If it's unintentional, can it be fairly called spam?
I've seen threads at a certain time of day in which four posters in a row had multiple posts. I just chalk it up to the server and ignore it.

It used to happen to me. Now, when the Forum fails to post, I click back, Preview my post, and check to see whether it has appeared in the Topic review panel. If it has, it posted. If not, I make another attempt. I rarely if ever have multiple posts now. And it does not add much time to the process.
