Double posting?

[Looking Glass 197]

for some reason, when i post, it tends to appear more than once. anybody else have this problem.

 

I'm using opera mini on an android phone if that helps.

Hi there @@Looking Glass, this tends to happen when people experience lag. They will select "post" more then once thinking that it hasn't gone through, when in fact it has. Thus we have double posts.

Like @ said it happens on forums when people have a slow connection to the forum because they think the post didn't go through, and hit submit a second time.

 

If it's happening to you a lot, I'd recommend you press submit once and if the page doesn't change or you're unsure about whether your post went through, open up another tab so you don't lose what you're typing and go back to the thread and see if your post is there.  If it's there then you know it went through and you can close the tab that you were posting on.  If it didn't go through, then go back and hit submit again.  That should help prevent the issue from happening.

In other words, try not to go trigger happy when posting.

 

Just be patient.

As a footnote, feel free to report any double posts of yours and the moderation team can hide them from public view. You wouldn't get in trouble or anything, it'd just help keep the forum tidier.

Seeing as this has been resolved, Im going to go ahead and lock the thread.
