This has just started happening in the last week...and thought it was just
a temporary glitch, as the site is getting pretty popular...
I have sent many messsages, saw this, believed it and went on my merry way...
An Error Has Occurred! You already submitted this post! You might have accidently double clicked, or tried to refresh
I found that they weren't sending or modifying at all and now that I know... I have to go back, refresh and resend or resave...
Any help on this subject?...Sorry if this isn't the best place to post, but seemed
to be ... J.J.

I've had that happen to me a couple of times.
It can occur for one of two reasons that I have figured. Either you are clicking the submit button more than once - or there is someone else posting to the same thread at the exact same time as you.

Or Bob is about!!
On the odd occasion this has happened to me & I have later discovered that the thread I was posting to was either being moved, split or merged with another!
Bob is just brilliant at organising the boards to keep them neat & tidy & of course the other Mods do simialr things - moving completed posts being the prime example.
Maybe they should change the message to "You have just been transformed" or similar?? 
Hope this helps
kind regards, Arranroots

Hi, Burrow Digger...well, my mouse must be getting MORE sensitive as time goes on...or, my nerves are making me dddddouble cccclickkkk.... i don't imagine anyone else was posting to the same message...as it happens often as I am adding to a resources thread ( and Iam the only on who posts to these certain ones anymore...) I'll try not to be so enthusiastic ~twitch~next time!~twitch
and hello, Arranroots...different message comes up when Bob does that, as I
went to change a posting to closed, and the save said that I was locked out of the topic ...then I went to the duplicate posting to say that I'd closed the other...and got the same message on saving! yes, Bob had merged the two and he is fast just as I am slow...
Had to give up the chat rooms for that reason...Everyone was paragraphs ahead, of me....while I was still saying"HELLO!"
Thanks for the replies...so it IS just me... I'm like a message magnet!!!! J.J.

I was thinking the day went well, no messages...!
But just now it happened again...no double clicks, etc.
I go back to check each time and it hasn't posted, so it doesn't make sense...
Eeeek! J.J.

Hi Twiss and welcome to RootsChat!
Nine times out of ten - it's Berlin Bob or Biker moving a thread !! 
It happened to me today too .... I thought I was going crazy ... I could have sworn I wrote out a reply and sent it  .... then I found out Bob was right there!!!
It can be a bit annoying - especially when it's a long reply!! - but they are usually pretty good at doing what they do - so we forgive them !!
Keep going - don't let one "error" stop you ! good luck in your searching!!
Annie

Just go back( if it will let you)....cut or copy and paste your whole post
then go back, hit refresh...and then paste and send...
It hadn't happened before that week and hasn't happened since...
so let's hope it was just a bug on my part....seemed to be that I had
taken a long time writing those posts that error messaged, so may have
had something to do with timing out, or something...

Thanks Liverpool Annie and J.J. It's brilliant to have access to people with expertise. I'm glad it's not just me that has problems. Twiss.

A little tip for you.
If you have written a big old post that would be gutting to lose then select all the text before you post and right click and choose "copy".
That way if you lose the post you still hav eth etext copied to the clipboard. I've lost posts and nearly cried. It happens when the site is busy sometimes as well as when posts are moved (which is actually quite rare).
All the best,
Pam

Thanks Pam...
Good idea...and if I can remember to save my giant work files just before they crash, too! You are right, I think that it is when the site is busy and one has also taken too long in writing... Say back and forth with information or urls to paste. At least now I know they haven't already sent, so I always go back and copy & refresh. Before, I thought I was going nuts because I thought that I had already posted a reply on that topic
Any really important stuff I get ready in word, so as long as I save there before I copy I should be o.k....Am getting a lot of STUFF in my rootschat folder!!!!
Thanks for all the replies, everyone....! J.J.

Just another bit of advice when typing very long posts - type your long reply first in an editing programme ie. Word, Notepad etc then you can just copy it all and paste it into the reply on Rootschat. At least that way you won't lose everything if you get timed out
