Hello,

Fairly new to Formiculture.com. I've been loving it so thanks for putting it together. I can't help but notice there has been a lot of double posts. I saw in another post the admin said they needed to do some server maintenance to fix it but just haven't had time yet since life was getting real. I work as a web software engineer by trade, particularly on the front-end side, and I thought of what could be an easy solution to this would simply be setting the Post New Topic button to a disabled state on click.

 

I also realize if the admin is hosting this site on a private server they're probably also pretty good at this stuff, and maybe already thought of this, but it seems like a simple fix that would prevent a lot of headache and having to delete double posts until the server maintenance can be completed. Also not sure if the forum software is even something you can even edit or if you just have to use it as is.

 

Maybe there is a use case I'm not thinking of where you wouldn't want to disable the Post New Topic button on first click that I haven't encountered being new here and all, but just thought I'd throw out a friendly suggestion in case it was of any help. :)
