Double posts

spoonbadger

Am having a lot of problems lately with my posts frequently being posted twice. It seems to because the time it takes to submit a post on my connection is longer than the minimum time between posts. Is there anything that can be done about this? Increasing the minimum time would be counter-productive for anyone on better connections and putting a lock on making the same post twice would waste a lot of resources, but i'm sure there's a solution along these lines.

On that note, is anyone else noticing this problem?

I've had a at least a handful of double post recently enough, where it just seems to take slightly longer to submit (you don't refresh or resubmit) yet it appears twice.

I've been double posting like crazy for the last few days.

1 PC on Firefox 5, with adblock plus, using the https version of the site.

1 Android HTC smartphone using Dolphin HD on the non-mobile version of the site.

Same for me, all with Firefox 5

been getting double posts a bit tonight.

Was there not something a while back that stopped you posting the exact same post within 5 minutes of each other? same with visitor messages iirc

I am having the same problem using both chrome 13.0.782.112 and chrome dev 15.0.853.0

It is also slow to post a message and the chrome icon may spin for up to 20 seconds even when using "quick reply" then when it is finished loading, the message has been posted twice.

Problem doesn't seem to exist if you use the longer, 'go advance' method of posting.

Problem is on Chromium on Debian here for what its worth, although it seems more like a site problem than any kind of client-side issue.

Resource problems? Are the databases getting too full/slow for the infrastructure?
