Please be Patient in Posting
It seems as though FT is having some technical issues regarding the system "Hanging Up" that have been brought up. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum72/HTML/000252.html
Due to this abnormal slowdown people are clicking on the [submit] button more than once resulting in multiple submissions of a post.
I hope that I am not the only person who asks that we can all be a little more patient with our waiting time so as to minimize these postings in multiples.

Good point chexfan. Today was a really s-l-o-o-o-w connection day here, even on a T-1 line.
Let me offer some advice for the impatient ones among us. This has saved many multiple postings for me in the past. Remember, only press Enter ONCE....
Today, after waiting for what seemed like an eternity for my post to register, I clicked the STOP icon and opened a new window. I re-opened the thread I was posting in and my response was already there. I immediately went back & closed the Reply window and there was no multiple post.

In defense of the somewhat technically illiterate, it appeared to me that no action was taking place. In fact, when I did what you described and closed that window, reopened another browser and went to the same thread, my post had NOT posted and did not do so for over an hour - when they all suddenly posted. So I immediately assumed the timeout indication meant nothing, and went back to edit away the dup posts. That took more than two hours to "really" post.
So I don't think it was just impatience - though admitteldy I'm not a poster child for patience
