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.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
