I've noticed many duplicate posts over the last few days. It hasn't happened to me, but I see many on the threads, and often from experienced members. Is this indicative of a hosting problem? I wonder if there is a connection between this and the recent slowdown of PC? Tom
I have experienced this twice over the past two days and unfortunately the user does not have the ability to delete the double post. I have just deleted the duplicative content and injected an Oops...
Most certianly yes. I did it yesterday because PC was so slow to respond that I didn't notice and I pressed the submit button twice.
It happened to me earlier today. It has happened to me before. I want to blame it on the host computer/server. But I can't with any certainty. I think it has to do with my sometimes being lazy and going out of the reply window to retrieve a site address or photo from the Internet in the same Apple Safari tab. It has never happened when I use a separate tab to get the stuff I want. I would save the embarrassment if I always drafted the whole post in TextEdit and copy/pasted it into the reply window and then fiddled the links. But, human nature being as it is, I still wanna' say the !@#$% host computer/server did it. I frequently see that PC runs slower than the two other, smaller auto forums that I visit regularly. I wish I could be more specific, but for the most part computers, Internet, etc are magic to me.
