"You already submitted this post!" - quick reply problem?

[madfiddler]

For a while, occasionally I have experienced a problem with quick reply in that when I make a post, the forum reports that I've already made that post and cannot post it again.

An Error Has Occurred!
You already submitted this post! You might have accidently double clicked, or tried to refresh.

When this happens, I have to go back to the page before, copy the post (from the cache) into the clipboard, and click 'reply' and do a proper reply.

However, during the last couple of weeks a number of other members have been complaining about the same problems.

Same here, its annoying.

[madfiddler]

It's doing it with instant messages and everything. Seems to be getting worse and worse.

I seen posts about this before, and the solution is to clear a cache.. what cache? I have no cache...

Please guys, can you give us a solution?

Thanks,

Mark.

Cache is normally your computer cache which you get to (through IE) By  goin to tools up at the top and choosing Internet Options. In Internet options you would need to delete the files and cookies. Depending on how big it is and if you've ever done it can take between 30 seconds and 15 minutes.

In Mozilla Firefox you would go to Tools and choose Options. In the privacy selection you would click on the button that says clear next to Cache. It you have the new beta version you would click on Privacy and then click on cache and click on Clear cache now.

That of course that is only if they mean to clear the cache on your computer. If they mean the server cache you might need to maintenance your board.

Mmm, certainly don't need to clear my computer's cache. That's done every day anyway. As for the maintenance, that's run quite regularly, so I don't think it's that either. And to be honest, that's not really a very good fix to what appears to be a large problem with the software...

[madfiddler]

I've found a work around for this bug... Instead of clicking "post" click "preview" then "post", in quick reply.. That appears to work..

However, this needs to be fixed...

Any comments/thoughts from the dev.team?

*bump*

i've been getting users reporting this lately also, haven't experienced it myself.

[madfiddler]

I've got more and more members complaining about it.. and not a word from the team here....

Its actually a theme issue. What theme are you using?

[madfiddler]

Is it? aha... I'm used a modified default.... but it's 1.1b2 or 3 I think so I need to see what changes have been made..... tried beyond compare but it wouldn't display the files for some reason....

Thanks for that, will get on it

[madfiddler]

OK, done a compare it on my index.template, matched as much as I can.. Will see what the feedback is... Thanks for the hint

[cotdagoo]

Hmm.. the only real big change I've made in my index.template was follow Unknown's instructions for integrating the forum into your site (the cooler way) - http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=19638.msg158669#msg158669

All my other themes are just copies of the default, with modified stylesheets.

[Joshua Dickerson]

Maybe it isn't a theme issue, but I have seen it happen on edited and old themes. Including this site's theme.

[Enc0der]

wow, I had this problem in like 6 months ago..
I've also found this: http://www.lawschooldiscussion.org/prelaw/index.php/topic,16568.0.html
and this: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=12033.0

someday it just stopped..

[Grudge]

You can get this error occassionalyl by random IIRC - but highly unlikely to do so. From quick reply it's almost certainly theme related and ensuring your Display.template.php file is upto date is critical. If a theme uses a custom Display.template.php file it may be worth checking if the theme author has updated to 1.1 RC1 yet.

[madfiddler]

I'm using the default display.template.php and am still experiencing this problem...

[Karmalakas]

same with me

[madfiddler]

It's obvious that this appears to be a problem on a number of forums. Any chance we could have some help here. It has to be to do with the way sessions are handled, surely. Or at least that's what one of my members says. If you refresh a page just before making your reply, you apparently do not get this problem....

I've had it for months now. On different browsers....

[cruisinflatout]

Same problem here...happens to one of my users every time she makes one post and then tries to make another within the same browser session...not even necessarily in the same board or one after the other.  Make one, browse around, try and make another...and error.  She has to close her browser and fire it up again to be able to post...

I run three different sites and I have experienced this on all three (Both with Quick Reply and regular reply):

One 1.0.5 unwrapped...default theme (with changes in colors in the css)
One 1.0.5 wrapped in Mambo 4.5.1
One 1.1RC1 with SAF-Blue Theme and I compared Default.Display.php with the default and there is no differences...WTF??

So, this is obviously a bug and one that is a recurring one no matter the installation type it seems.

I'm running all three forums on a W2K3 Server - IIS6 - PHP5 Could this be an issue with that or something?

I was thinking maybe it was the "spam/whoring up the thread" blocker in SMF...is there a setting somewhere that a guy could try to increase that which might help this situation??

[ac7v]

I get this same problem on my unmodded SMF 1.1RC1 board.  It happens when I post to many topics, a board error arises, and causes me to have to go back and resubmit, or just at random sometimes.

Is there any hope of this being fixed?
