Byron, GA | Forum feature. Can we have a feature that won't allow double postings by members something like this.

What if I want to reply to two different posts in the thread, and maybe it is a slow thread - only one or two posts per day. I would have to wait a full day before I could post my second reply.

Yes, I realize some people accidently double post, and that is what you are attempting to avoid. But I think the cost, in terms of other disadvantages, is too high. The existing check for identical posts should be stopping most accidental double posts.

I've seen multiple instances where members followed their own post with another post containing different information, opinion, etc., and I don't see a reason to disallow that.

I'll often make multiple posts to threads if I am responding to multiple posts.
I don't see what this would accomplish. |

Is this an error message from another BBS software package? If so, which one? I have never seen this as a feature. |

I'm curious about the reason for the request. Can you give me a thread as an example of why "double posting" is an undesirable action? |

I like being able to post multiple times. That would be taking the fun away. Sorry.

Acid i like your idea but would like to modify it. Instead of disallowing another post, system should automatically merge replys in to one post and just have replied to x before to comments, replied to y before the comments.

Many times you post to two reply,Also "Instead of disallowing another post, system should automatically merge replys in to one post and just have replied to x before to comments, replied to y before the comments."
Then what? it places the update at the bottom of page and you have to read it all over or it adds but leaves the post so no one sees your redly.
