On a more important subject that Creme de Menthe sounds great Mike.

You are much better off with Blue Bols 

That's just a side effect

posting

Answering...got the warning.

Posting.

Answering...again warning.

Posting here and waiting a bit with the other account to reply in order to let the session expire... I don't remember when it expires though...

You said you had and have the issue of messages "disappearing" since a year or so, can you describe it a little better?

What does exactly mean that the posts do not show up? Do you get an error page? (Apparently not, but better ask twice) You are thrown back to the message index? Or to the topic? Or...

Does it happen with any kind of message? (Long ones, short ones, from the quick reply, from the main "post" page, etc.)

Did you ever notice any kind of pattern? (Maybe when you write long posts that take a lot of time, or when you use something in particular (a video, many images, something else).
Someone mentioned that while posting there were new answers, did you notice if it is common?

Are you using the "full post page" or the quick reply?

Do you have the setting to come back to the topic after posting or it comes to the message index?

I write the post and press 'post'. i am then thrown back to the message index. There are no warning messages or errors. My post does not appear on the topic

Happens with long and short messages

Did you ever notice any kind of pattern? (Maybe when you write long posts that take a lot of time, or when you use something in particular (a video, many images, something else).

It happens with messages without images and with images. Once I realised some of my posts were getting lost, I noticed that whenever this happened, someone else had posted at almost the same time

Are you using the "full post page" or the quick reply?

"Full post page"

Do you have the setting to come back to the topic after posting or it comes to the message index?

Mine comes back to the message index for that Board

Answers embedded in your quote. This is intermittent most of the time I get the warning that someone else has posted. I now check that all of my posts show up and use the back button to recover the post if it does not.

This is doubtfully weird...
Never encountered something like that...I'll try to understand what is going on.

I'll take a guess from where I've seen this kind of thing before:

A lot of UK big internet providers and especially mobile providers make heavy use of big caching proxies. If you are trying to detect duplicate posting by IP address only it won't work, you need to parse the proxy headers from the http header or key off the account instead.
