1. I tried to post a new thread to the "...News" section but it said (twice) that I don't have permission even though it knew my name i.e. my login ID was correct. I have posted there before, though admittedly it hasn't been recent. Has there been a change to posting policy?
The reason I WANTED to post a new thread was...
2. This morning I have noticed strange site behavior. At least a couple of times this morning already, I have apparently started to "double post" - i.e. I enter my post, no obvious problem except that it takes longer than it should based on prior behavior. But then it opens the "Advanced" posting box and I get a note that forum software requires me to wait 30 seconds before posting a second post. If I scroll down I can see that what I posted is already in the thread. I'm not doing anything different today than I have done before to create new posts, so I'm at a loss to explain it from me being unusually clumsy with posting technique. This double-posting happened to me recently but only once and I assumed I was just sloppy with the mouse, but this morning I'm not so sure.
EDIT: It happened again and I was very careful with the click this time. So that's three double-posts this morning. I have cleaned up the aftermath but it is just odd. Further, I have my system set up to NOTIFY me when an update occurs, so I don't think this is the result of an overnight update of my system.
EDIT #2: And again, but THIS time I didn't use the mouse. I used the tab key to step to the correct posting button and then tapped the ENTER key. But it still double-posted.
