PM's being sent 3,4,5 times

Is there some sort of problem with PM system. I have been receiving messages 3,4 and even 5 times. Same message!!

There does seem to be a problem. Its to do with the mailing of notifications (which doesn't seem to be working at the moment). This causes the send of the PM to 'hang', and I suspect some people are thinking - 'did I send that or not...' with the results you're seeing. I can't see any specific cause. Unless anyone knows what 'nss lookup failed' means?

I'm getting this with normal posts - almost all the time ! It tells me the server has been disconnected - and hangs up my computer - and then when it all finally frees up - double and triple posts appear!!

Rather than editing your posts with something like "double post" "triple post" etc you can just click the small "x" at the right hand side and delete your duplicate posts, providing no one else has posted in the mean time. This way your post counts will remain more accurate and the board won't fill up with rubbish....

Ahh - well I did look for a way to wipe them out - and couldn't see anything ! Will try again. Thanks for the tip - Roy

I do try and eliminate these when I spot them.
