 * When entering for an event the form becomes transperent but is still clickable!
   
   Impatient users can click the submit button multible times to enter 2 or more
   times with the same adress!

 * Hey again Screenload,
 * The plugin does also check for duplicate emails server-side to prevent someone
   bypassing the JavaScript check but you are right, this can be improved.
 * The latest version (2.0.1) now disables the submit button as soon as a user starts
   typing in the email field and won’t enable it again until the address is checked.
 * Let me know if you have more questions about this!

 * Just tested it, I don’t know if it’s just me but when the E-Mail is correct and
   the user submits the form the script changes the opacity of the form to “.1” 
   and shows the loader gif.
 * BUT in the time the loader is showing the button can still be clicked and the
   E-Mail gets put in several times: [http://puu.sh/xsTaQ/fbe2b4e2b5.png](http://puu.sh/xsTaQ/fbe2b4e2b5.png)(
   Even if the success message is showing it’s still clickable [http://puu.sh/xsTmf/d25de5ced1.png](http://puu.sh/xsTmf/d25de5ced1.png)).
 * I think it would be a more elegant way to hide the form completely and just showing
   the loader gif 🙂

 * Hello again,
 * Yes it looks like you are right I’m seeing the same thing. Sorry I misunderstood
   before!
 * I’ll add this into the existing update once I test it a bit more. In the mean
   time you can add the following line of code to the rtec-scripts.js file on line
   219:
 * `$rtecEl.find('input[name=rtec_submit]').attr('disabled',true);`
 * You will also want to add this code to line 284:
    `$rtecEl.find('input[name=rtec_submit]').
   removeAttr('disabled').css('opacity',1);`
 * You may also need to clear your browser cache to see that change after doing 
   this.

   you have a great rest of your week!
