There seem to be a lot of duplicate threads about at the moment! Another gremlin in the works no doubt. I will report any I come across, hope someone can sort them out!

I use only a laptop,with either Windows 7 (mine) or Windows 10 (OH's) and the 'grey send button' is the same on both,and takes for ever to load the reply to a post, or a first post starting a new thread .  I can quite see that many people think there has been no response, and click again, possibly leading to these duplicate posts.

My way of dealing with this now is to copy my post, re-open the Caravan Club website in another tab, (where I am still logged in) and if my post isn't there, close down the original open website and post in the second one.

However, I still think that some of the duplications is somehow a flaw in the forum 'code', because starting a new thread with exactly the same title as an already existing thread somehow links the two together and you can get these strange hybrid posts, where you can post in one and in some views it appears in one, or both, or even neither..

This new forum has now been up for 6 months (?) and the fact that it is still appalling is incredible. As others have said, I honestly don't think the club are actually interested in resolving it or have the worst IT team ever. The poor responses from the club are embarrassing.

My particular favourite glitch is where someone "closes" a thread......yet you can still post! Marvellous website.....
