Nick H. Supervisor Posted August 31, 2016 Supervisor Share Posted August 31, 2016 Well that post didn't seem to duplicate. It might be related to a specific subforum, do you have an example post? MikeChipshop 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick H. Supervisor Posted August 31, 2016 Supervisor Share Posted August 31, 2016 I've just made a test post and that didn't seem to duplicate. Other posters are writing there as well without it duplicating...have you tried clearing your cache etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted August 31, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 31, 2016 I have reported it and @DaveLegg said he'll look into it at the weekend, the same thing is happening with news comments too (even though we disable the Submit button on posting).

You tap save, and it says Saving... hangs, and when it finishes it will often duplicate. Its not a connectivity issue; it does it on LTE and WiFi as well. I've never seen it happen on a PC. I suspect that the browser times out without getting a 200 from the server after a successful posting, refreshes, causing a new POST and you get copies.

Steven P. Administrators Posted September 1, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2016 Soft deleting avoids long term mistakes and allows the Supervisors to keep tabs on what is being deleted/hidden.

cork1958 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I've had this happen on PC's, which is the only thing I use when visiting Neowin. Off topic, but I have reported it before and will mention it again though, is why when clicking the REPLY button, does it still ALWAYS quote who I'm replying to.

Is this on the news side of things, rather than in the forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted September 1, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think this is news articles, it shows the quote when replying/posting but after refreshing the page the quote will be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
