(P.S. My English is not good .Maybe the grammar in the essay is wrong.If someone finds the wrong grammer ,please tell me where is wrong!! Thanks~)

Why did the author used use "the next time" but not "next time"? Either form is correct. next time you post / the next time you post next time is a permissible abbreviated version of the next time here.

So "the next time" = "next time" anywhere?
Are there any difference between them? Like tenses...
For example ,"I will give you something next time." and ''I will give you something the next time."
Because I have ever heard about that we need to use the different grammars for the different tenses.

I wouldn't say "anywhere". I suppose there are cases where one or the other form is better, but I can't think of a good example.
???For example ,"I will give you something next time." and ''I will give you something the next time."
Those are both fine.
