Double post error: PLEASE HELP

Post Reply New Topic

I am new to these online forums, and recently I have found that some of my post have been double posted. Can any one help me?

Including that one!
You're not double clicking the submit button, are you? Not sure if that produces a double post, but I can't think of anything else at present.

^ I think the anti flood-posting would disallow that - IIRC you're forced to wait 10 seconds between posts. The other duplicated posts were a minute or so apart.
This seems more likely to be a "It doesn't seem to have worked so I'll try again" error, because it may not be immediately obvious how to view a freshly-posted message.

OP, try clicking on the "Click Here to view your message" link which is displayed immediately after you've clicked the "submit" button.
That will force a redisplay of the page you've posted to - which should now include your post as the first item displayed.

I've seen posting errors which result in no post being submitted - but never a "silent" one: the post failure is always trapped and clearly reported as a failure.

Hmmm... I dunno what it is, but I'm used to Pun-BB forums, so it's unlilkely that I'd accidentally noobishly double-post something. :/
Thanks anyhow.

Well, at least if you view the post after it's been submitted you can see immediately that (1) it worked and (2) there's only one post - so I guess there's some confirmation value in that.
