I made a comment then I reloaded and the comment was posted a second time

Note: I reloaded after receiving the error message because of double posting the same thing

Really? Let me try. :P
[Edit] Nothing here. My guess is that you reloaded too quickly right after posting and it hadn't processed yet.

I have done that several times, and have never had this happening to me. Anyway, I'll test it again with this very post.

Well, if it makes you feel better - no, you're not taking crazy pills. It does seem to happen occasionally <- I could be wrong since they're slightly different, but he could have edited one of them before the 3minute mark.

If you posted it, then read comments and then reloaded page (and it asked you to resubmit data), then yes, that could happen, because double post protection lasts only like 30 seconds (or so) and between your posts, there is 1 minute delay.

This, DoctorHolmes.

What you're describing isn't a bug, it's your browser resending the information you last sent [which is what the refresh function actually does.].

If you do it past the time limit of any site protection, and there isn't a duplicate post check on the site, then you get a double-post.

Though I guess you could clam the lack of the check is the bug? ;)

I didn't know about the 30 second thing, then it's not a bug after all
