Double posting of replies

[T. R. Oglodyte Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close T. R. Oglodyte]

I've noted that the site often duplicates a reply to a post.

It appears to me that the double posting occurs when a reply is make the "Quick Reply" option. If the responder clicks on the "Reply to thread" icon, then the reply is only posted once.

I don't think that's it Steve. I have noted here and another site that replies sometimes buffer for a while when the site is busy, prompting the poster to hit reply again and create a double post. I seem to remember a "flood control" message that would tell the poster they are making a second post in a short period of time. I haven't seen or heard of anyone getting that message lately.

I am not sure but I think I messed something up a few months ago. I have to try to figure out what it was that I did

Now responding using the "Go Advanced" option.

Based on the above, the double posting appears to occur when using the Quick Reply option. Using the advanced thread tool does a single post.

This message was posted using the Advanced option.

I always use the post quick reply and make sure I don't click it twice.

I have gotten double posts many times. Usually I do the post quick reply.

I find that if you are careful just for the one click and wait for the post to load, only one post appears. A message appears to the left of quick reply say that the post is loading - when it loads slowly as shows it is buffering and you hit post reply a second time, you get a double post

I never double click. When I made the test posts above I did not double click.

Double clicking is definitel not the issue, because if it were I would have no double clicks. The only that seems to make a difference when I post is whether or not I use advanced reply. .

Well, I don't have a problem with double posts. Perhaps a browser problem - I use firefox.

This reply is being made using quick reply. Let's see if it double posts.
