A double reply to a single post

Hi,

Please open my Discussion Forum at www.solidliquid-separation.com
where you will see two identical replies. The first reply
_disc/00000035.htm was the one originally posted and the second
_disc/00000036.htm jumped in 1 second later.

What can be the reason and how to recify it.

Thanks for your help.
Josh

The reason could be that the person submitting it hit submit twice while
waiting for a response from the server, in which case two complete posted
results were sent. It could also be the user hit the back button or refresh
after the post, which can sometimes result in the post being made twice.
The only real way to rectify it is to manually go into the discussion TOC
and delete it and the duplicate message file, but this is not really advised
because the discussion bot is, well, flaky and tempermental when it's left
by itself let alone when it's files are messed with.

Hope this helps,
