Useless fact of the day!

I've just found out that you can't post the same thing twice within an hour of the first post......

With the wifi here being sometimes less than desirable, I often get the post flooding error. It simply means that the post has been successful first time and repeating the post is a duplicate of the original.

Yes, I do Toby.

There was an instance where 2 similar questions were posted close to each other.

My first answer was relevant to the second question so I copied it and pasted it.

The forum wouldn't allow it to be posted even though it was on a different thread.

I understand the reasons why, but hadn't come across it before.

Yes, that'll be a spam prevention measure. If it becomes a regular issue due to how you're using copy/pastes, send me a PM, as I want to ensure everyone can offer help in the most effective ways for them.

It's not a huge issue and I'm not a fan of copy/paste so no worries.
It was probably a one off for me.
