Forum bug - double post

Jan 12, 2004 AgY link
erh .. heh .. :)

If you click on post button twice (of course by an accident)
It will post the message twice with the same message id. If you edit one, you will edit both. *hide*

That's a feature. It's for our users who set their scroll wheels too fast. This way you if you miss a post, there it is again! Enjoy!

Really?!

The world sure is full of unknown features!

Moderator, the post also double posts if the refresh button is pressed if viewing the post right after posting.

Thats known, most 'good' browsers will warn you with something along the lines of:

'Re loading this page will require the steps to get to it to be repeated, are you sure you want to do so?
Okay -- cancel'

Yeah, when the window appears, press cancel and use the "Index" button to go back then reenter the thread. The alert only appears after you Edit or Post a message, if you are just refreshing without posting or editing than the alert doesnt appear and no double posts or anything will eb created

I know, but it is still annoying and should be fixed - not a priority of course.

That's the sound of a1k0n contemplating wrestling with the website code again. I'm taking collections to buy him a helmet.

Ya the double-post issue is known and mildly annoying. Mostly it inconveniences me as I am the one who goes around cleaning them up. It's on the list, but not high on it.
