Duplicate postings

[Pints]

I've noticed a significant increase in duplicate postings in various threads. Is this a user error or something being caused on your end?

Just a thought.

ETA: Just spotted this example: http://pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f...

It happens to me sometimes on my iphone, what happens is i type out my post and press submit it'll think for a few seconds then the page which says connection timed out appears.
This then led me to believe the post hadn't been submitted so i press the back button and re-submit, however it works the 1st time even when timed out this leads to double post.
I've learnt not to re submit but forget sometimes!, although it does help towards my pay per post .

I get this occasionally (Google Chrome/Windows 7) but when I click back my post has usually disappeared and the post hadn't been submitted. Slightly frustrating after writing a long winded response!

@ Zollar

You should have done what I did and forego the iPhone for an X6

I make it a point to do a quick copy of the text before submitting if its a long one.

Zollar,

Out of interest, are you using the main site or the mobile site?

The mobile site.

Well explained Zollar

There will be slot of duplicates right this minute as I can hardly access any forums/threads

Some forums run code that prevent you from posting within say 30 seconds of your last post, which presumably is more to do with spamming but would also prevent this problem.

We do run this code, plus some other measures, but it doesn't seem to be working properly on the mobile site.
