It will just keep posting the same thing over and over, and then you’ll have 2…3…4…? duplicate posts. There’s a thread about it that Caddyman started here: [http://community.cartalk.com/discussion/2277046/posting-problem#Item\_10](http://community.cartalk.com/discussion/2277046/posting-problem#Item_10) ---

If you get a fatal error after submitting a comment, log out of the website and log back in and there will be just one post. Technical clitch. Tester ---

Clearly not really a fatal error. I prefer to let the people who are being paid fix the problem. ---

When I get the dreaded fatal error, I just scroll back to the main forum and then check to see if my post was logged in the thread I responded to. It always is, and only once.
