Double posts a-plenty!

I am probably stating something that everyone already knows, but it seems that there are more than the occasional double posts lately....and they are not occurring with just new guys that might be making some sort of odd mistake (it is with veterans that surely know what they are doing).

The only help I can offer is that there also seems to be some oddness with Tapatalk crashing or attempting to double post when I post from my phone. I am not sure if that is the case with the other guys (tapatalk) or not...perhaps they will chime in and mention what they were using to create the double posts?

Thanks for maintaining a great site!

I usually try to delete mine. I may have missed one or two.

The ones from me are caused by Verizon Wireless.
I live in the middle of nowhere and connect over the air to their 3G network. Sometimes the signal drops, and the data being transmitted gets re-sent. (or at least that's what I think is happening)

Well sometimes a post is so good, it's worth reading twice. It has happened to me once or twice and when it does, I either delete or edit the post. Technology, go figure.

For some reason today the reply button seems sluggish, I know double posted because of that today

OK, cool. You were one of the offenders I noticed:D

Something I can suggest that might help? At least one other site I am on requires 60 seconds between posts, I am not sure if this feature is implemented here or if it would help...or if anyone really cares (my scroll feature works pretty good, I just wanted to call it to everyone's attention;))

Edit to correct...I see SRP uses 30 seconds between posts...disregard the above blather;)

@ work, posting on my laptop earlier, I hit send and pop up asks me if I want to 'leave page'. So I go to the url at the top and 'open link in new tab'. My post is there already. So I x out and go on. If I had hit 'resend' I would have double posted. Not sure if this has anything to do with anything .... just sayin'

Edit; Same thing just happened with this post. :shrug:

Exactly the same thing here. Pretty sure this is a site performance problem.

That's exactly what I do too Jimmy. Seems to happen to me when the site is slow to load - perhaps during a database backup?

Double posts a-plenty !

That's right & I like it that way.
Everything I say is impotent & needs to be heard twice. :beer2:

Just had to get that quote in before the edit. I agree with you 100%. Everything you say is impotent. :p

Yes, the same thing has happened to me as of late. Anyone notice the site seems to be running a bit sloooower?
I cleaned up my browser and messages and no luck. Say, how do you delete pictures? I want to keep some in my attachments, but some could go. Also , the "like button seems delayed as well on newer posts. Not sure if it supposed to be delayed. Don't remember that. For instance, I could not "like" the last post!

Double post happened to me a few minutes ago. I don't think I double-clicked, either. Something's screwy.

[cross fingers for single posting]

Post-posting revision: The quick reply worked, but I was shunted to the advanced posting type, if I'd assumed it hadn't posted and then posted from there it would have been a double post..

This has been happening left and right for me.

Your attachments are parts of your posts. You can only delete then if you can edit your post. The site wizards have set a 24 hour time window for that

Makes sense! Just trying to clean up the site! Perhaps I should not post! :p

The above is also what happened on one of my recent double posts. When I clicked "quick reply" it took me to "Go Advanced". I assumed that I had accidentally hit the advanced button and clicked the post icon. It was a double post. That was from an iPad on cable wifi. Since, I've had several posts that kind of freeze up and take a rather lengthy period to process the post. Luck with trying to trouble shoot the cause and once again, Thanks for all your efforts!!!

Howard
