Because people wait more than 60 seconds or something like that.

The main question is: are double threads really such a big problem for an extra technical solution? Happens once a month or something like that. Rare enough to just have a mod close it.

It happens when people use the back button in their browser history after that time. Most browsers nowadays ask you if you want to re-submit the data. Either people don't understand that, don't care or just just have old browsers which don't ask before submitting the very same data a second time.

Would be pretty easy to fix. Actually I would only have to check for a duplicate topic in the right place (I already do but it's at the wrong place) but yes, not a huge problem.

To avoid recent SEO spams: Wouldn't it be a good idea to disallow posting links for new accounts? Let's say, the first 10 posts are not allowed to contain links to anything apart from unrealsoftware.de/*?

Yes, I already considered it. It's not happening too often so it's easy enough to just delete the stuff but if it continues/increases I will add additional protections and limitations.

Add button at each post to copy post, ready for quote when posting a reply. It's annoying when I want to quote multiple people (like in thread cs2d Get player count JSON) where I have to press "quote", copy-paste the contents, back, find another post, rinse and repeat.

People just shouldn't change their names THAT insanely often. It would be better and less confusing for everyone.
Look at me. I'm sticking to me ultra crappy nick forever.

Lol, @user DC:, you can't tell people not to change their names just to keep the forum looks cool, don't be lazy man.

@user Xirot: it was actually work to implement this name change restriction. I implemented it for reasons. Calling me lazy because I don't remove something that I want to have on this page it is utter bullshit and a cheap attempt to provoke me.

Rules §5.1 - Show good behavior and simply don't be a stupid asshole

Also you're wrong with what you're saying. This is my website. If I don't want people to change their names all the time then I can enforce that rule. I still think it makes a lot of sense to have that rule.

API for retrieving basic info e.g username and profile picture.

Edit: Just found out Developer section, didn't check, my bad.

Regarding the servers posted in the U.S.G.N. site, I have found the way you check for a server to be quite ineffective.

How about this:

Ping a server every 30 seconds, if the server reports offline, ping it every 2 seconds for 10 seconds, if the server doesn't respond, wait another minute and try again, if the server still doesn't respond, remove it from the server list.
