In both of Neo's posts, I see the content twice, separated by a divider that says "- - - Updated - - -". Is this happening to anyone else?Yes, it is. It seems to be a bug introduced with the latest forum revision, like the "the main forum list page shows you as logged out and you have to click on a forum in orter to log in" bug that has been happening since this upgrade and etoven hasn't fixed.
For me, this double-posting bug works like this: So, now a confirmation warning message has been added when you try to post from the Quick Reply box. If you hit 'post' then a box pops up in Seamonkey [my browser, of course] saying 'do you want to leave this page or stay on it'. If I choose 'leave page', it double-posts the post. If I choose 'stay on page', it looks like I haven't posted yet, but actually it did post the post (only once) to the forum. Then I have to either hit reload page or close page or something, then hit 'leave page' twice when the box pops up (because it always pops up twice, for whatever reason), which it will either way.
Yeah, it's annoying. Other forums have this 'do you want to leave the page' warning on pages where you are entering a post -- Sega-16 for example does -- but it does not have the double-posting bug, so all I have to do is hit post, then 'leave page' twice when the box pops up and it posts correctly. It'd be great if etoven could figure this out and fix it.
