I just tried posting something and got a message saying the flood control had been triggered and that my post hadn't been posted. I re-posted it as directed, and it then decided to post it twice. The message wasn't there when I went to re-post, yet there was a minute's difference on the post time between them, suggesting it HAD posted. The forum can't be right on both counts, so what gives?

Every site has (click) flood control.
I remember trying to order something from AlbertHeijn.nl once, when I clicked on a bottle of bleach the site froze for about two mins. When it finally came back my shopping cart contained 999.999.999.99 bottles of bleach!! The site then gave me an pop-up window informing me that I had been banned from the site for 'click flooding'!!
It happens sometimes.

Since it did actually post your message it can't have triggered flood control. Perhaps you double-clicked, in which case the second attempt to post would have done.

That's the thing though, when I went to re-post it, the post wasn't there at all. Only when I re-posted did it appear twice. I figured last time this happened it was my mistake as you suggest Buttoneer, but it happens to me every time flood control is triggered.Since it did actually post your message it can't have triggered flood control.
