I've recently had some double post issues.

I've clicked once, and it has come out twice.

I've never made one of these 'glitch' threads before, so I might need some help.

yes I've been seeing a lot of double posts like grahams posts keep being duplicated. It seems when they added the new button the double posting started. and I sometimes double post when the screen blanks afterwards.

I seem to double post often, even when only clicking once, I wonder what causes/ed it.

Well, if you get sent to a blank screen refreshing causes a dp.

Lag can also cause it.

I really have no idea~

what does DP mean? And I have very often gotten a blank screen here since the last few weeks, but there haven't been any double posts happening to me.

Lag can also cause it.


Most likely a bug that has broken out while the site is being edited in the coding. Hey, Iroot may find it!

The new button is pretty funny. I like how it spins instead of you having to look at the status bar of your browser to know if anything has happened.

yes! I use FF3 and when I reload it'll say something which I ignore to read and press "resend"

I had cases of triple posts. From my experience I know that if you are using Mozilla and it asks you to click the "resend" button after submitting your post, don't click it!
It will still post if you don't click "resend". If you do click it, it will post twice(or three times).

I'm using safari 4 and I'm not having any problem with it really. Is everyone else here running on FF??

i broke my main computer's screen cable, and i barely ever can go on my sister's laptop

soo if you see me double posting alot it's because i'm on my ps3 browser....maybe the lag on that is doing it?

The notice says something like "this page contains POSTDATA blablabla resend"

That means it will redo what you already did. (I don't know how else to explain it)

So if you are updating your armatars, refresh and resend, you will update your armatar twice. If you're buying something online and refresh and resend, you will buy 2 of the same object.

So once you hit Submit button, it already submits whether your page loads or not. If it sends you to a blank screen, press the back button, and don't refresh.

Very weird. Wonder why it happens.

Ah well, at least it doesn't delete your post. Rather double post than no post!

I have been hearing about this glitch, but haven't seen it around much. So if you see this glitch occurring, please post a link to where it happened in this thread so we can see it and try to figure it all out. Thanks!
