We don't know what their environment is like, but between the hundreds of forums that they run simultaneous multiple clicks could have negative effects on the DB server. The bottleneck is always the database and the less request to it at any given time - the faster.

It's easier to change your habit of doing it...and it will be more beneficial to you. You pay bills online, right? You know what happens if you double click in some systems and you don't notice it? You get charged twice...

Gene, I'm sure you are right, and I respect your input. I obviously don't always double click. It just happens ocassionally, but often enough to be annoying. I know that I am not alone and many other people have this problem because two other Civic forums have chosen to disable this error system without any apparent problems. And of course I am more careful when making any financial transactions online.

On this newly renamed forum, can you change its description so every word isn't capitalized? It's Kind Of Painful To Read A Sentence Like This With Every Word Capitalized.

The capitalization follows the same format as other forum titles. Or are you suggesting that all forum titles be change to eliminate capitalization?

The description beneath the title, not the title itself. All the other forum descriptions have proper capitalization.

The title itself is fine, titles are supposed to be like that.
