I moved a bunch of code to redirect internally and caused some pretty obvious usability errors.
I added a record based on GET parameters and then internally redirected to a page that showed the update table.

If the user hits refresh ANOTHER record gets added (as it should), also if the users goes past the page and then hits the BACK
button he adds another duplicate record.

I like the internal redirect, but this was a bad use of it.

And I just finished fixing the problem about 10 minutes ago.
