Testing lost post problem w/ duplicate sensing
Has anyone else found they're losing posts in certain cases?
It seems like if you post, then use the back arrow, clear fields, then make a new post, sometimes it gets flagged as a duplicate, and one of the posts gets lost.

Yep - I was right! My first response got lost...
If you do this:
1) post a response
2) hit back arrow
3) clear fields
4) post again reusing form from first post
You get a "duplicate message detected," and the <b>first</b> post disappears.
My comment to the developers - if this is difficult to fix, maybe you could at leat make it so that the first message is the one that persists, so that we can at least recover the text from the second one w/ the back arrow.

Sometimes? It should do that everytime
Duplicate is the wrong word to use, but it's intentionally programmed that way.
Basically, it's to stop duplicate posts and people who post something and realize they made a mistake and hit the back arrow, fix it and have 2 very similar posts.

Yeah, it's every time.
It's definitely non-standard forms behavior, so I've lost a number of posts this way.
I guess you're saying that I can count in this as a way to "edit" a post I've put in before, if I realize I made a mistake in it. That's certainly useful!
I still wish there was a way to just plain delete my own post. I realize there's a technical issue w/ what to do if there's a response to it - how about in that case, just replace the body w/ a message "this message was deleted by its author."
Any chance of this?
