Double posts - lots more now?

It's there.

Not for me for some reason.

Come to think of it, just realized that (of course) I'm not a 'senior' member yet so that could be why I don't have the option.

Is it really that hard to not double click?

For some people, yes. Have you not seen that lots of people double-click everything they see? (You and I know they are idiots and should be shot, but often forum software is written by more reasonable people who like to protect such users from themselves).

Besides, I may be wrong in my guess as to the cause, it may not be about double-clicking at all. I'm mostly just commenting on what I (seem to) have noticed... an increased number of double-posts by various people.


(Having said that, I'll double-click [Post Quick Reply] on purpose, to see if anything happens...)

I'm still getting 2 or 3 a day. I tag them "Duplicate Post" (in case anyone wants to look for them) and it seems to happen most often when someone else is posting at the same time in the same thread... sometimes, I just get a duplicate post. I single click, never double and just sit and wait for the browser to spring back into life...

That long wait thing usually signals that it is going to double-post on this attempt.

I wonder if the Ajax post mechanism doesn't have the proper locking, so it is unable to figure out if the retry is going to result in a double post.

There also appears to be a glitch within a post. Duplication of written text at the end of the top line is occurring.
