Double posts

I've noticed a few double posts of late, I actually did one myself not long ago, the reason I did it was when I clicked on the post to send nothing happened so I clicked again then I got a double post, is this what others have experienced?

It's been happening since last weekend! Nels was informed but he says they see nothing wrong with the server! I think if more than 1 person emails the webmaster at our site, they might continue to investigate this problem.

It may well not be an issue with the forum or its server but could be your ISP (or something in between). If there is a hiccup returning the data to you after you make a post, the forum may well be doing all it should but you don't have anything to tell you so.

 

I have seen this happen with other forums and also with credit card payments - on going to check all seems fine.

This could be the situation! Rick is asking everyone that has the problem to send him a copy of the CMD prompt tracert to this site to him in a PM.

It seems to come and go for me. It was doing it on monday and Tuesday, quit for Wednesday and Thursday, now it's doing it again. On mine it either asks "Do you want to leave this page" when I hit the PostQuickReply button, or just jumps to the Advanced page on it's own, which is where it winds up if I hit Yes to the Leave prompt. I've found that if I rclick the Back button on my browser, and go back to the main forum I avoid the doubling up. To actually see my post, I just hit refresh, and then the thread again, and LO!, thar she blows!

But all this is just my comp. Others may well be totally different.

Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again!

I get that 'glitch' too. What I do is click ONCE on 'post quick reply' (or 'submit post' if I add attachment) and then click up top on link to 'main' thread, or even back to 'forum' link. When I go look, it's there. Simple work around.

 

I suspect it might have something to do with loading adverts (on sidebar). I think the workings of the 'placeholder' might be a 'problem' (code? syntax?) when there is actually no graphic or flash to 'show'.

PS/Edit: Oh, when you get message askign if you want to 'leave' or 'remain on page', just 'x' it and hit your browser BACK ARROW ('go back one page'). The post will still be posted and you will be back to thread. This is only way around that glitch.

When I post I get the rolling circle as though it is trying to catch up then I get the prompt to either stay or leave the page and if I leave my data may be lost so just in case I copy what I wrote if it does get lost so I don't have to type it all again but up to now it has been there when I leave and come back.

Yes, I had that when I posted my message above - I'm not sure why as I have never experienced this before - I would venture to suggest this is a separate issue and is indeed a bug in the forum software.

 

I assume the forum is driven by a commercial product and as they tend to produce updates from time to time this may be something inadvertantly introduced by the developers - and will probably be fixed at the next update.

I would not assume that. What is probably happening is there is/are change(s) as to HOW the forum ('software') interacts with your BROWSER (Internet Explorer or FireFox) when it comes to 'presenting' you with 'active content' (ie: advertisement graphics or flash files). I am sure it will be 'worked out'. Hang in there.
