There appears to be an error in the posting system.
Please check the thread of Last one to post is Sexy!! thread. You will notice that i posted a new entry right after mine, it was supposed to be after Raven's post that is why i posted to say against him. However, the post automatically turned into a double post, right under my previous entry.

There also another one directed at The Purifier on page 22 or 23. There are three merged posts which are supposed to be after his.

Why is this happening? can someone explain to me?

There are actually two sides to this problem.
currently i switched to IE and the message "you can only post one message every 30 seconds" I waited 2 mins, and it still says that.

Now using firefox, the above mentioned double posting problem occur
anyone having the same problem or is it just me?

Same here, look at the Battle Royale section; It says I posted last but if you check Z_Blitz did. I posted AFTER Z_Blitz and it somehow got before his.

basicly,the forum works with a time system to sort the posts.Apperantly,you can set your PC in some way and the forum will think that's when the post occered.

Meaning should you post at your normal time (which is earlier than the changed time) the forum will put your post behind the other one.

Check the posting times to the left of the post,you'll see this theory is acurate.

I have no idea why this bug occurs.I'm used to invisionfree boards.

Actually, I think I have a logical explanation behind all of this... I don't know if you all have noticed but GMT timing has changed a few days ago, meaning that your local timing changed with it, i.e. if your local timing is -5 GMT then when GMT timing changes to jump an hour up, the time displayed will stay -5 GMT and will display something like 1:00 pm when in fact it is 12:00 pm...

Today, GMT timing returned back to what it was originally and that caused a disorientation in the server... Thus causing devildude's double post and Arakawa's post appearing before mine even though I posted before him...

Its got nothing to do with the computer's timing...

but the thing is that i still posted way after the last post, which is like that. now would that mean i have set my clock to match?

ok...now that i posted this, it did not merge...?
8.10pm in UK time. if there is a need for refrence.

I'm aware of that... On my screen it shows that you posted at 8:10 pm (timing before the GMT setting return), then after a few posts from different members you posted at another time which was 9:15pm... After the GMT settings returned your 9:15 post was moved to 8:15 and thus affected you causing a double post when in fact both occured at different timings...

ok...i see.
so literally, now it should be ok right.
cause GMT times don't just change everyday does it? cause i am kinda [fag inserts here] stupid when it comes to paradoxes...lol
ok, anyway, as long as it is working fine now then no probs...
