Re: New tank Build !
Yeah, I have the same problem. It's a bandwidth thing, which is why we should all donate regularly. It took me a few days to realize I was double posting from clicking too much. I still do it occasionally, but then just go back and delete the post. Anywho... completely unrelated to this thread lol.
