|
|
I have been trying to pay attention when I post and if I am hitting post, then return, or just clicking the (return to forum button).
I have not come up with any reason why so many posts double up. My new habit after I make a post is to close down the samba tab, and go back in real quick to see if it double posted. It does about 1/4 of the time, and I quickly delete one of them.
Has anyone figured out what causes a double post? |

All I know is if you post from a "smart" phone you can't preview or it will post. You can only submit. That's how i found out. So if you pre iew then submit you get 2. _________________ 1972 Bus 1700 cc Single Carb. But not a progressive.

Really... I can't see why that would happen from how it works behind the scenes but I will check it out.
I have had people say their phones double post sometimes, not sure why or if they were doing preview or not. _________________ How to Post Photos

Still double posting....and it is happening to many people. It has gotten so bad that EVERY post I make is doubled and I have to go back and edit one out. I have even tried to sneak up on the SUBMIT box and tap it very, very quick, only to have it register a duplicate post, every time. |

I don't know what to say other than it's your device doing it somehow.
Or you are double-clicking the Submit button, which I think could cause it if you did it fast enough.
There is actually a thing that prevent you from posting again for X number of seconds:
Flood Interval
Number of seconds a user must wait between posts
It's set to 5 seconds
I hit it sometimes if I have multiple tabs open and try to post in 2 threads at once too fast. _________________ How to Post Photos

For what it's worth, I preview all the time on my Samsung S7 and it has never double-posted. |
