Often when I try to post, I get a message saying "unable to contact www.Mudcat.org" or that the message attempt "timed out." Then I try again, and when I finally get to view the thread again, I find I've posted in duplicate or triplicate.
How can I know if a post really didn't go through?
(Sometimes I try to go back and check the thread again before re-trying the post, but, expecially in heavy-use times, when the forum is loading very slowly to begin with, this becomes quite time-consuming.)

P.S., It doesn't seem to matter whether I'm posting through AOL, Netscape, or Explorer.
