Duplicate Posts

[TJ]

I'm seeing a number of double posts and threads this week. I'm not sure what's causing it. There's been some periodic slowdowns in the morning hours. I rebooted the server the other night to see if it would improve things.

If you make a post, it's likely going to make it into the database eventually. You don't need to click the submit button twice. If you don't have the patience to wait, maybe you can open up a new tab or window.

When a quick reply is delayed, which has been happening more often lately, sometimes it ends up going in twice, and i always wait it out. I'll delete my duplicates and any others' on boards I moderate, but I think some posters just don't know how to do it (it's easy to do).

I’ve never made a duplicate post.

I admit it , sometimes I get impatient and hit send a couple times if my post doesn't go through right away !

50 lashes with a wet noodle for me!! I'm showing my age here , but does anyone else remember Dear Abby? Sometimes she would give bad advice to a letter and get called on it, had had to retract her advice. She would say " 50 lashes with a wet noodle" or maybe she said 30 lashes ? I can't remember ? Anyway I used to get a kick out of her ! And Ann Landers too! I miss Dear Abby and Ann Landers!

Yes, and her successor's column is still called Dear Abby. I think it's her daughter.

After waiting at least a couple of minutes the other day, I finally did dump out altogether. 50 lashes for me, and my post ended up in cyberspace someplace. Just as well, it wasn't a very good post anyway.

EDIT:

I notice the threads are not updating again when you view the base indexes...

Crazy coincidence, right? I most certainly didn’t do that on purpose.

However, if you look closely, you’ll see they’re not complete duplicates. So my statement still stands as correct.

Well I suppose we'll let it slide

I get the posts sent to my e-mail. I have the receipts. You must have edited it seconds apart. The second post didn't have a period.

I'm not sure why so many of Yong Fang's posts are double posting. Maybe he has a poor connection.

Caroline13 is making some duplicate threads and posts also.

No editing. Just made one post, posted it, then made another different one. The no period was a clue for sharp-eyed readers. It was an attempt (unsuccessful I guess ) to be amusing.

Do you get EVERY post at the site sent to you or just the threads you sign up for?

Well played in that case. Your ironman streak of no duplicate posts continues.

I get every post made on the site as a moderator, except for my own. I used to get my own posts before I upgraded the software a few years ago.

Do you get notified about every deletion too? For example, last night in the hockey thread I saw a post I wrote a few days ago, had second thoughts and decided "No, that's dumb", and deleted it. Would you know I did that?

I don't get notified. I can view the deleted post and the reason if one is given. They are only soft deleted. I could restore them if anyone ever wanted them back if they were deleted by mistake.

142,003 posts have been deleted (or are missing and not included in the totals) if you go by the post numbers.

isn't the default to get notifications on all posts?
