Double posting

Birneybau

Is there any way a bulletin can be issued informing people how very easy it is to delete a double post?

I understand it may be a current issue due to the great DDOS attack of 2016 but it has been going on years also.

'Oops, double post'. Well done, you edited that, you could have just deleted it...

It's not easy, it's a PITA to delete every time you post.

It's not the double post that's the issue, though that is an issue, its people who are editing to say 'double post'. It'd be quicker to delete the post than to edit the thing.

Agreed.

But really, the issue is it happens in the first place - thats the PITA..

I found the only way I double post(yes I delete the duplicate) is if I use the quick reply box.

Sure, you didn't even thank it once.

There seems to be much more double posting over the past couple of weeks than i ever remember before. Is there any chance there's something wrong with the site causing the double posts?

Any chance of this getting fixed? It's bloody annoying and been going on for a while now as well.

This is becoming very bothersome. The speed is back to the way it was, but when a double post happens, everything slows down again, including the process of deleting it.

I should add that in the scheme of problems in my life, other than the choice of what to drink with my dinner tonight, what colour socks I should wear in the morning and the constant search for the TV remote, this is bottom on the list. Would be nice if it weren't there at all though

alternatively how about I subscribe again and all this madness magically disappears

You'd think that if they can't fix it, they would just remove or disable Quick Reply.

I've found that it doesn't always happen, but when it does, it's from Quick Reply.

The only forum this doesn't happen to me in with frequency is feedback. weird.

It's on the list folks, but it's not as high a priority as getting our email notifications working and the sign-up process repaired.

Really weird things happen when you try to edit posts as well, if you use quick reply and close the page before it double-posts.

Then when you go back to edit the single post, suddenly the edit transforms into a double post - odd glitch.
