RainbowCash 127 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 This is a bug with some forums, Try only pressing it once and it should only generate only 1 of the selected post your are trying to create, never tripple click.. 1 Life is like a camera focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out....Take another shot!

碇 シンジン 27,431 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 It posts the topic many times if you click the post button many times. If nothing seems to happen when you press it would be good if you open the index page on your next tab to see if it posted it. Because it can take some time to load sometimes. 1 Rarity Fan Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks 10,816 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 This happens sometimes, it has happened to me before as well. A lot of times things are running slow either because of something on the forums end or yours and it is not always clear if what you posted went through. What I do when this happens is I right click and "open new tab" under the subsection that I made the post in and if the post went through you should see it. Lets say you want to post something in "show discussion" for example by opening "show discussion" in the means I told you via a new window you will quickly be able to see whether or not the post you made went through and be able to reduce the likelihood of making accidental double posts. 1 Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Jeric 46,851 October 27, 2014 Solution Share October 27, 2014 If execution time is taking longer, do not click post multiple times. The server and client are communicating, and IPB software is not a SPA with real time data binding. Hitting submit constantly will create duplicate entries. This is why many e-commerce sites caution you from hitting submit again while it is processing your payment. If this does happen, just report the dupes and the moderator or sectional will handle it for you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
