If I buy a membership, can I get my duplicate text/Quote problem fixed?


Recommended Posts

Seriously, this is starting to grate my nerves. Everytime I reply to a post, I have to immediately go back and edit out duplicate text and quotes.

 

It was suggested to sign out everywhere and sign back in. That did absolutely nothing to solve it.

 

I will buy a membership TODAY if this gets fixed!

No, that's not how it works. I thought this had been acknowledged as a bug and it just wasn't fixed yet.

 

I knew that. Just being sarcastic because its such a frustrating problem. The same person that suggested signing out/in mentioned that this bug was fixed ages ago and its odd that I still had the problem.

Sorry, didn't realise.

Interesting that your quote double posted yet mine didn't.

It has to do with whether the post actually submits. If it times out, sometimes it auto retries and instead of one post, you get two. That's how it duplicates for me anyway.

The only time I've had it happen to me is in a very specific sub-forum - outside of that I've never had an issue but in that sub-forum its every post.

Happens no matter where I am on Neowin.

 

 

That is insane - I can't help but think there may be something on your side that's causing the issue Adrynalyne mentioned to happen more frequently but unfortunately I couldn't even begin to suggest what that would be.

Are you able to try from a computer? Or can you request desktop site on a mobile browser and try that also?

 

I meant it happens on Desktop PC and with my iPhone. Also happens when I post from my workplace on a different network/ISP so I don't think its a problem on my end.

That is truly bizarre, the frequency it's happening for you I'd say it's almost certain but trying that amount of times on different platforms etc I wouldn't want to bet on it.

 

 

@slamfire92  Have you tired in your browsers in private, incognito or private browsing mode?  Try creating a new account and see if it could be a profile corruption issue.

Private mode Firefox

 

Edge

 

And finally Chrome. This is the first time signing in using Edge and Chrome btw, so no cache, trash, etc.

 

I'd rather not have to go through creating a new account. Problem started after one of the forum upgrades awhile back.

 

So to sum up troubleshooting...

 

1.Happens in Edge, FF, Chrome and IE

2.Happens at home, work, etc. Completely different PCs, ISPs, Networks, etc.

3.Happens on a desktop PC as well as with iPhone

4. Signing out/back in doesn't help

Any extensions installed on the browsers?

ADB in FF @ Home, Adguard in FF @ Work. No extensions in Chrome or Edge.

 

* I disabled ADB before posting this response. *

Couldn't help but laugh when I saw the double quote happen :p

Personally I find it rather strange that there isn't a time limit between posts to prevent spamming.

No, don't create a new account. Only one per person. :p

 

@Seahorsepip It happens in the same message, not two posts.

Could it be the quote system?

If it happens in quick succession when quoting, it adds them to the same post. I still think it's a timeout issue. I know it's not browser extensions (yes I noticed someone thought it prudent to delete my post). 

The only constant I see, in this case, is the account itself. Might be worth checking the account data against another functioning account (mine for example) to check for discrepancies. Seems unlikely it's the account but also seems to be the only constant. For testing purposes I'd allow the user to temporarily create another account and see if the problem persists if the database check comes back clean.

I would like to add this happens to me as well, quote goes crazy, sometimes will quote my own self. i've complained in other threads, though not formally I guess...

Yeah that kinda makes sense.

 

Though it happens to me in different ISPs

 

edit: on latest opera, latest chrome, etc. no addons or extensions.

    • Now 8GB of ram looks even worse in the Neo. I'm so happy I purchased 128GB of DDR 4 when I did.... paid $174. Upgraded my parents laptop to 32GB around the same time for $48. Luckily I have a TON of spare laptops. So i'm good on laptops for a while. I also have a lot of desktops too that I could use if i had to. Lets just hope nothing happens to my main 4 monitor couch workstation.
    • I will keep my current devices for several years... no planning in upgrading until these devices stop working. Too pricey.
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has raised the U.S. prices of several MacBook and iPad models, including the MacBook Neo, which it launched for $599 less than four months ago. The company’s cheapest laptop now starts at $699, while some MacBook Pro configurations have increased by $300. The changes affect the MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPad Air, and iPad Pro. Apple has not changed the hardware or storage included with these models, so customers are simply paying more for the same configurations. Here is how the new US pricing compares with the previous starting prices: Product Previous price New price Increase MacBook Neo $599 $699 $100 13-inch MacBook Air, 512GB $1,099 $1,299 $200 14-inch MacBook Pro, 1TB $1,699 $1,999 $300 16-inch MacBook Pro $2,699 $2,999 $300 11-inch iPad Air, 128GB $599 $749 $150 13-inch iPad Air, 128GB $799 $949 $150 11-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $999 $1,199 $200 13-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $1,299 $1,499 $200 The updated prices are already appearing on Apple’s U.S. online store. The MacBook Neo increase will probably attract the most attention. Apple introduced the laptop in March for $599, pitching it as a more affordable Mac for students and buyers considering Windows laptops or Chromebooks. It uses an A18 Pro processor and originally undercut Dell’s new $699 XPS 13 by $100. Following the increase, the two laptops now have the same starting price. The M5 MacBook Air has also lost the price Apple promoted when it launched in March. The 13-inch model arrived with 512GB of storage for $1,099, while Apple’s store now lists the MacBook Air range as starting at $1,299. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip and 1TB of storage has gone from $1,699 to $1,999. Apple has made similar changes to its iPads. The recently released M4 iPad Air, which launched at the same $599 starting price as its predecessor, now starts at $749 for the 11-inch version. The 13-inch version has risen from $799 to $949. The iPad Pro increases are larger in dollar terms. Apple’s 11-inch M5 iPad Pro now starts at $1,199, up from $999, while the 13-inch version has moved from $1,299 to $1,499. Both base models still include 256GB of storage. Apple blamed the increases on the rapidly rising cost of DRAM and NAND flash, which provide system memory and device storage. The company told Reuters that it had tried to shield customers from the increases but could no longer absorb them. “We have never seen a component price increase this much, this quickly,” Apple said. Tim Cook had already warned that price increases were coming. Cook said Apple’s existing component inventory had softened the immediate impact, but that higher memory costs would increasingly affect the company after the June quarter. Much of the pressure comes from the construction of AI data centers. Memory manufacturers are directing more production toward high-margin server products, leaving PC, tablet, and smartphone makers competing for the remaining supply. Apple has not said whether the new prices are temporary or whether further increases are planned. For now, the changes show that even Apple’s purchasing power has not been enough to keep the AI-driven memory shortage away from consumer devices.
    • Ventoy 1.1.16 is out.
    • This is a none story - these low volume Chinese models will always get new experimental features first because Apple and Samsung can't produce them in huge volume to meet demand.
