Doubleposting, etc...

[Njaco]

I've noticed a few problems lately that might be getting worse and I just want to make sure its not the forim.

When I type a reply it sometimes takes forever to load - I sometimes have to hit the 'Reply' button several times. I then get a 'Double Post' message and all is well. But its persistant and increasing in frequency.

I now notice some members ahaving troubles and sometimes having double posts instead of one and I can only assume that it may be the same problem.



Not sure if its my PC or on the site. Anybody else having similar problems?

Was
until I sussed it. Usually it was a time-out issue with me, which tempted me to hit the Submit button again and when the page loaded properly, lo and behold, two identical posts.

I just refrain now from hitting the Submit button twice, when the page does finally load, your original attempt is usually there.

Yes, Server Error is shown on the screen after submit very often.

Same thing happens to me a lot. After you submit it goes very slow then appears to lock up and you get a server error screen, but if you hit the back button several times then check the last post on the thread I always find my post there.

Yep, I've had it also, as described above. I also had one last night, which was a little different. The 'post reply' button was clicked once, and the response was virtually instant this time, which was very surprising. But, immediately, it displayed a double post.
I think it must be the Gremlin season !!

You're a very naughty boy...

Jeez! I did not do that, honest! And you're right, I'm not the Messiah........

This is almost like the problems were having just a short while ago:
http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/err...oad-23253.html (Internal server problem with picture upload.)
So it seems as if it's in the server (whether or not there's photos in the post)

I too have experienced this problem. Apart from noticing plenty of double posts from other member around the forum, I usually avoid this myself by not hitting the submit button twice but rather waiting long enough for page to finally load same as Colin mentioned (patience is a virtue ).
If a "Server Error" message is shown then I click on the "Reload current page" button on my internet browser (Firefox in my case).

Hope this server problem will be solved due course.

Now I just got "The Server is too busy at the moment" messages, even when trying to open a link on the forum.

It happened to me a few minutes ago. Took about 40 seconds to come up and it was a double post when it did. I only hit the button once.

[Crimea_River]

Happened to me twice in the last two days. I've learned to just hit "submit reply" once and when the "internal Server Error" comes up, hit the "back" button a couple of times. When I go back into the thread, lo and behold, my reply is there.

every now and again i get server error when i try to post but i just hit the "refresh" button and my post is usually there.

I get server errors quite often when submitting a post. I make it a habit to first copy the text in my word-processor before submitting as a back-up.
