Hi Oldjim,

My chrome went into a bit of a meltdown! It kept refreshing and had frozen! I couldn't close the browser!

Was in a bit of a panic mode over here! Haha

No worries though, I'm working on it at the min, just looks like no early dart for me today then!

@RebekaPreston

I did send a PM.

Am happy to delete the posts if you would like me to.

Hi Mav,

I've just replied to your PM.

No worries, I'll crack on it with it now.

Thanks anyway,

With the duplicate posts thing there might be a way to restrict 'flooding' by making sure that posts cannot be done within 1 second of each other (the product of double clicking the post button).

Let me look into this and see what I can do.

After some experimentation, its not the act of double clicking that causes this as the button goes into a disabled state when validation checks have passed.

The flood controls can't be done on my end so I have sent over a support ticket to Lithium to see what they can do about it. That what other communities have done according to their forums.

Flood controls have been adjusted to 2 seconds from 5 so this should stop double posting. If it carries on happening, I will get it reduced to 1 second instead.

Thanks for your patience on this matter.
