You might be influencing the total post counter. Its tallied 20 new posts since I loaded it last night. But I just went through the boards and into each thread. I only found 7-9 new posts. Didn't do an exact count because I was reading the threads.

Well... I could not have been the cause in the past, as I only just discovered this ability... as for me being the cause of the total count... I've only used it 3 times today... So doubt I'm the cause of much more than that...

I brought it up because I doubted it added up.

I can continue this every 10 seconds or so until it states it made the post successfully. Advantage is I do not loose a post that way... But I shudder to think at the potential issues that can introduce into the forums database if done on a consistent basis though

Each request runs as a separate process on the server side. With a properly designed database engine they should either execute without interfering with each other (resulting in a double or triple post) or the first process to start writing blocks all other ones out making them wait until it finishes.

Working as a programmer in deaing with back end databases for some 16 years, I know that is how it is *supposed* to work... however, since the request is coming in with identicle parameters while the forum is also in a no/slow respond state, and we are dealing with at a minimum two and more likely at least three database editing/adding requests each button depress it is possible it could cause issues, thus I said potential harm...
