You should only have to change the Subject. I usually insert a "2" b/w the "RE" and ":" ("RE2:") and I have no problems w/rejection.

Yes, you will get the "Message Rejected" if you post twice to a thread in too short a time frame. But changing the Subject has always worked....

When you changed the Subject, where did you make the change? If it was the end of the text, it may not be close enough to the beginning. The system may only check the first X characters...I recommend either changing the Subject completely or changing it close to the beginning of the text.

I find that you usually have to click Preview again before the system acknowledges that you changed the subject. Otherwise it tries to post with the old rejected subject line.

If you change the subject of the post, it should work with no time elapsing. I have found that if I take off the first couple words, it works, but if I try to take off the last couple, it doesn't seem to. I have often posted right after myself and it works fine as long as I change that. There are certain phrases it doesn't like, like "Oops," for some reason. Make sure you're hitting 'preview message' after changing the title, then submitting. Without changing the title, you do have to let time elapse or wait until more people post.

Thanks! I'm thinking part if it could be is that I'm posting too quickly (should let everybody know just how stressed out I am about the wall color). off to try again! thanks!

i had this problem too, even after typing a slightly new subject line, waiting, navigating away and refreshing. thanks buehl, just tried your method--and it worked. great tip!
