What you do is generate a unique ID for the post _before_ displaying the post form and put it into a hidden input element. Then when the user submits the form, you use that ID to insert the post, but you have to either check that that ID is not already present or have unique index on that field. -Andrei * We reason deeply, when we forcibly feel. *
