Cannot post

[allotech]

Every time I am trying to post my other topic, I get the message that I already posted this (double post) yet my post did not go up to begin with.  Originally I got the message that I posted less than 360 seconds ago, but I made no such post.  Apparently there is some stupid rule that you can't post within 5 minutes of logging in?  Can someone enlighten me as to what problem that solves?

Edit: Incase it wasn't obvious, yes I am trying to post in the Newbie Forum.

As a new user you can only post every 360 seconds and until 5 posts and 4 hours forum reading time not leave the newbie forum.

You guys don't even understand the point of my message.  I have read the linked post twice. 

I'm getting errors that I am double posting, when I haven't double posted, AND AFTER WAITING FIVE MINUTES.  It's a BUG in the software that affects new users, and it's VERY annoying.

The issue ONLY happens AFTER I receive an error for posting twice within 360 seconds.  THEN, I cannot make that same post EVER because it's counted as a "double post".

Please try to understand the problem before trying to guess a solution.

I fully understand the problem.
Your trying to post,you have waited the 360 seconds.but because you reloaded page the system thinks you didn't wait. It seems to be just a simple bug in the website.. The way i got around it was just navigating through the main page to where i wanted to post and then try posting. Hope that helps.
Didn't mean to come across arrogant.
