Issue: Want to double post

Whenever I write a reply, it loads for sometimes, then an error message comes up saying I can't post for another 60 seconds, my reply gets posted though, but it's like I'm trying to double post it by clicking submit twice, however, I only click it once. Any idea of why it is like this?

Or could it be my browser that is messing with this? I use firefox, newest version.

It's probably that you're using quick reply to post your posts. That's been causing issues for a while now.

Like donavannj said, it's been going on for quite a while now. Unfortunately no solution has been found yet, so if you find it too annoying, press the "reply" button and write your posts there instead of using the quick reply box.


Um, I was writing another solution here too but now I'm suddenly not sure it works...

Even when using the Post Reply button and not the Quick Reply box I still get this sometimes. ;x

It's just something you'll probably have to deal with, for now. :(

For mods, it's even more annoying. Since we don't have flood control in our own forums, we make unintentional double posts very often.

What I was going to write, anyways, was that when I press "post quick reply" and it suddenly takes more than a few seconds to post, I instantly refresh the page and usually manage to get back to the page where a single post can be seen. But I'm not sure that works all the time either.

EDIT: I think it worked now :p

Wow, Will, that's actually true. Hadn't tried that before. Too bad I often write too long posts to not press ENTER xD

It doesn't bother me that much actually. I was just wondering and thought I would report it if you wanted to know. But I see that I'm not the only one having it.

I'm mostly experiencing it when I'm posting from my iPhone, but it's probably easier to accidently double post from iPods, iPhones etc...
I've never actually experienced it while using the computer, sooo.. >_<

Edit: I just realised that it's because I never press enter when I post >_<

At this point, it would be unfair for anyone to get infracted for double posting.

This bug as we know it shouldn't make normal members double post, as there is a flood control time to prevent people from posting too often. Only staff would double post since it's removed for them. Or are you accidentally double posting very often as well?

It doesn't ever actually double post for me because we have that flood limit, but it does always alert me that I'm apparently trying to post again. ;/

This is what's happening to me, too. It happens a lot.

This hasn't happened to me ever, not even when I press enter during posts.

Not even on the alt, in case you noticed the post count and don't think that my post matters.

its some how directly related to the ajax post (qr usually) javascript and how your comp/browser processes it.

No one is immune and until we find out the cause, its just another one of those annoying things we need to watch out for.
