Orphalese Tarot Zone Community Forum

I have fixed the problem reported by Scorp re carriage returns not showing properly in forum posts (your list displays correctly now Scorp). Re the double posting, I am not sure why that is happening at the moment. I noticed looking at Dominatrix's double posted message that the two posts were almost ten minutes apart. One explanation could be that doing a page refresh causes the message to be resent once the message has already been posted. Internet Explorer gives a not very helpful message in these cases - something like refreshing the page will cause information to be resent - continue?. It doesn't really convey much information. Firefox does better with a message which is something like If you refresh this page you will repeat the last action you took. For example, if you have bought something using a credit card, this could result in you paying twice. Are you very sure you want to continue? which spells it out nice and explicitly.

Still not sure what happened, that one was of my first posts using the new machine after the big Exodus (of files, I mean), and it ain't a slow one (P4 930 3Ghz Dual Core with a 1Mb DSL connex and matching support parts). I wrote the message and the progress bar on the deck parking went painfully slow. After 7-9 minutes of waiting, and not getting response of any control (even XP reported everything working), closed the program, entered again and pasted the message copy I had handy. Guess the only problem was a huge load on server in a given moment, plus the impatience of an user too prone to press send button steadily. Best.

I know the orphalese server seemed to be going really slowly that day. About 10 minutes after I clicked submit, it displayed a blank (white) page as though it had timed out or something. So, I exited the program. I'm guessing it was the act of exiting that resubmitted the post???

Thanks for fixing up the carriage returns.
