I think I have figured out what is going on - when I post and then get taken back to the thread - if I hit back to get to the previous (eg todays active) page I get (sometimes) an expired page notice and/or repost from data-when I hit yes apparently my post is sent again even though I have not seen it. I'm not technol. advanced enough to know what this means, but maybe you can help.

It sounds similar to the "lightbulbs" problem some users have had with the board.
Since this board runs off scripts, sometimes using your browser's back button causes scripts to re-execute when they shouldn't. This _may_ be the cause of your double posts, especially since you're saying you're getting a "repost form data?" message.
Instead of the back button, can you try using the internal FlyerTalk navigation at the top right side of the screen? From there, you can back up into a forum as well as the main screen... There's also navigation at the bottom of the screen ("Hop To") that can get you around the boards.
