freakoutjackson...
Sorry to devote a thread to this, but curiosity has gotten the best of me...
Why do you post 4 times? Do you have a bugged browser or something? Did I miss out on a joke somewhere?
You're freakin' me out, Jackson!

Re: freakoutjackson...
It's a weird server-side problem we've had with punBB for a while now that has apparently been picking users at random and sticking with them for a while until moving on to the next one. Try Forum Forum Forum next time.

Re: freakoutjackson...
When this happens is it not possible to delete the duplicate posts?

I think some accounts are bugged. Not really sure though.

I think that I was the first that this happened to. Kirk thought that I was making it up! 
I've never seen quadruple posting though...

No, you weren't the first. I don't remember which users were before you, but there were some.

Okay, I was the first who mattered.

Re: freakoutjackson...
I think it's a temporary quirk that the forums eventually auto-correct. I've never seen these account quirks at all.

Re: freakoutjackson...
Must only happen to the cool kids, because it happens to me all of the time. And I always get two notification emails when I subscribe to threads.
You have an absolutely breath-taking... heiney. I mean, that thing's good. I wanna be friends with it.

What's weird is that earlier today, when I read this thread, I only saw FOJ post once, but now I see three posts!

Yeah, it's random. Sometimes 2 sometimes 4. It can start as one and an hour later there will be 4.
It's been happening for months now.Any fix in sight? I'm tired of trying to explain it.
Everytime I post someone has to point it out. Like I don't notice it.

Re: freakoutjackson...
Yeah, and if you try to edit out the duplicates you only see one. I really think it is some sort of account error.

Re: freakoutjackson...
Hm. It's related to you somehow logging in multiple times. I have no idea how you're doing this, though. Do you do anything funny with using multiple browsers, or different IP address, or anything else out of the ordinary?
Hard work may not kill you, but why take chances?

Re: freakoutjackson...
Now I see in the thread list that conner posted after NAG but I don't see his post.
I wonder if this one, or how many, will show up.
How long till you guys give up on punbb? It's 100x buggier than phpbb ever was.
