Sabre Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I use firefox, I usually open threads in multiply tabs for ease of reading and originization. My ISP also uses a Dynamic IP. (ie. My IP usually changes with each connect) However, Id say 1/5, 1/10 times or something, that the forum with claim I've each duplicated a post, or have posted within 45 seconds. Not a majour problem, but it keeps doing it repeatedly, even though I havn't posted in 45 seconds or I havn't done a duplicated post because I have not made a first post. Going back to the thread, clicking reply, and redoing my responce over and over until it eventually decides to let me through. I have learned to keep a copy of my replies. I don't regular at many forums, but this is the only one to have these problems. Any idea why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krystal Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Dynamic IP shouldn't be causing this problem. Sounds more like a problem with the forum itself. Is it here? The only dynamic IP I've ever experienced was dial-up, but I never had a problem like this. Sorry, I'm not much help. :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Fox Runner Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I've had a problem where the forum would say that I had posted more than once in the past 40 seconds and it wouldn't let me post, when it was the first post I had made since I had logged on. Maybe there is a problem with the forum? I use Firefox if that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Sabre, you do not have hardly any IPs in the system. Only like 5. Your IP stays stable. SFR, you have a very large number of them. Either of you on a LAN? Two people on the same LAN logged in at the same time can cause this, as most LAN setups only have one outside IP for internet access.

Star Fox Runner Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I think so, I use a desktop computer, and everyone else in my house uses laptops and accesses the internet through a wireless router. They must have been using the internet while I was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have been using the internet while I was on. Even that wouldn't likely cause it, since they wouldn't be visiting the same site... unless... there's a secret Star Fox fan in your household OR there's some sort of monitoring program that's sending multiple connections per page load or something like that.
