Multiple Posts
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: The Great Dude
Did anyone find what's the problem? I seen 4 or 5 posts of the same stuff all around the forum.
There is also people who post and don't get an error and press the button only once, but still a double post occurs. Anyone figure out how to avoid that?
I revised the tip thing from before, it looked confusing. :P
Tip for avoiding Multiple Posts and yelled at :P :
1. When you post and find something like "page not found" or "cannot find", don't refresh or press the back button and repost just yet.
2. Go back to the area you are about to post, now check to see if your topic or reply is already there. If it is there, then you don't have to do anything. :)
3. If your topic or reply is not there, and you typed something really long, you could press back to the posting page with what you were about post. Copy that and paste it next time you post your topic or reply.
I saw something like "cannot find page" when I posted this, but I knew it was already posted so I went back to the forum. ;)

;) It's most likely people hitting refresh or clicking back and then trying to repost their topic/post. What they should do is if they get that error page, then click back and then check to see if their post went through by checking the thread or previewing their post and then scrolling down a bit to see if their post is there. I've had NO problems by doing what I do. ;)

Its to do with the server, well thats what i was told apparently. :(
Its so annoying and is really starting to p/$$ me off, everytime you post a reply it just comes up page not
found. :angry:

:D heh, i've had no problems today at all... I feel so happy now... Sorry to the peeps who had to endure this all day long :blink:

This is the first time I ever saw page not found. Maybe the mods should pin something about this, and say to check if you posted instead of refreshing or reposting.

yea, they should, it could help the members and the MODs themselves
