Double posting

[Farva]

It seems when I make a post and click submit, it goes through but it gives me the double post timeout page, but it doesn't show it posted when you scroll down.

Solution: stop posting.

It shows up eventually. It helps to leave for a [strike=1]minute[/s] week or so and come back.

Your clicky finger borked?

It happens to me a lot too. Usually on longer threads with lots of pages. It delays for a long time, and when it finally moves, there's two of them. I also get it during some moderator actions like moving threads. It will tell me it's already in the forum I moved it to, and I look and I'm the only one who touched it. I've seen it happen to several other folks as well. Zero idea what the cause would be.

A good example is the BF3 thread: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1576228&page=109

All I did was type test in the quick post field, hit submit and then it timed for about 30 seconds and then posted this:

It also sometimes just hangs. It's why they kept making new MAP threads in Genmay, after the thread got so long quick reply borked for a lot of people.

Yep, I think the MAP thread tested this pretty well. Around 2,500 posts, quick reply stops working very well. I think it's related to VBulletin perhaps.

FWIW, PbNation (also VBulletin), automatically starts new threads after 2,000 posts in the old thread.

Also FWIW, I never had the problem with double posting, but I did have the problem with timing out.

The game threads seem to be working very quickly now. Dare I say that it seems to have been fixed?
