I don't know if it's something to do with my end (because I'm caning my bandwidth at the moment) or something at the server. But I thought I'd post a heads-up anyways, just in case.

When making a post, I've had (over the last few days) a number of times when the server has displayed something like "this post is a duplicate of one you made less than five minutes ago - you will now be redirected to that post". This is after pressing the "submit post" button once.

No biggie. Just a heads-up.

This usually indicates a time-traveling post. I don't know if that's still the case, as I haven't seen any time-traveling in a while.

Ok, this is just too weird. I just looked at FOUR identical posts from four DIFFERENT users. So unless you're all four messing with me, something decidedly ODD is going on here...

Judging by the identity of those four users, I more than suspect the former.

Looking at the four posters, I'm thinking it's the former.
