Is it just me or did that cool little unnoticed feature get trashed in the new version? You know... the one that deactivates the post button to prevent click happy members from multiple duplicate posts. What happened? I liked that. ??

had not noticed that myself. Maybe there is some other mechanism in place now to prevent double posting. Have not looked at that yet.

Is there a way to get them both to work... the flash doesn't work with my browser set up.

i HATED that feature, as my site would often go down durin a post and then i couldnt post it easily again, cose the button was disabled to add it back just do this change to any page with a submit button this is only for this page (forum_posts.asp)
<script language="JavaScript"> function chgOrder(Show){
strShow = escape(Show.options[Show.selectedIndex].value);
if (Show != '') self.location.href = 'forum_posts.asp?TID=20111&PD=' + strShow + ''; return true; }
function CheckForm() { var errorMsg = ''; var formArea = document.getElementById('frmMessageForm');
//For Gecko Madis API (RTE) if (formArea.message.value.indexOf('<br>') > -1 && formArea.message.value.length==5) formArea.message.value = '';
//Check for message if (formArea.message.value==''){ errorMsg += '\n\tMessage Box \t\t- Enter a Message to Submit\n(You may need to disable script blocking software on your PC)'; }
//If there is aproblem with the form then display an error if (errorMsg != ''){ msg = '_______________________________________________________________\n\n'; msg += 'The form has not been submitted because there are problem(s) with the form.\n'; msg += 'Please correct the problem(s) and re-submit the form.\n'; msg += '_______________________________________________________________\n\n'; msg += 'The following field(s) need to be corrected: -\n';
errorMsg += alert(msg + errorMsg + '\n\n'); return false; }
formArea.Submit.disabled = true; return true; }

</ script>

First let me say THANK YOU!! That's what I was looking for.
But more importantly, are you suggesting that this feature actually caused your site to lock up or go down? The reason I ask is I've been using wwf on a shared server that is giving me fits. I've noticed, especially in FireFox, that when I attempt to reply to a post, typically when I stay in edit mode for a while, then hit the post button, the script hangs... the site hangs... and IIS restarts.
If this is causing the issue... then I will remove it from the current site and not try to fix it on the new one.
Thanks in advance.

no i didnt mean it caused my site to lock up, i ment it was a pain IF my site locked , as if i made a large post - it was a lot of work to repost it
all the part in red does is makes the submit button get disabled stopping anyone from pressing it, it shouldnt cause ANY problems with the site its self as its done client side not server side.
