Posting causes a zillion loads
 

I would like to understand why it takes a zillion page loads after I post something to get back to my post.
Those of you with dial up connections know what I mean. You post and it takes you back to your post but after it runs over and over and over loading who knows what. It's faster to post, then hit "stop" after the "thankyou for posting" message, then load the message again normally.
I would just like to know what it's doing, is it a bug in the code, do you need help to fix it, can you fix it, WTF and so on.
