Duplicated Posts

The issue of duplicated posts within a thread has been solved. The issue of duplicated threads has not but is work in progress as Rowena reported the other day. The problem is that when posting a new discussion the submit button is not greyed out so posters assume their new discussion has not been posted and they submit again, and again. 

I mentioned this in the Snagging List thread. It would be a great help if people hold off from posting a reply when they see there are duplicate threads. That makes it easier to hide/delete the excess threads. I know that is a big ask but until we have a solution to the issue it's the only way I know of tidying the threads up.

It's more than a big ask, David, but clearly not as big an ask as getting the problem sorted. I could have sworn Ro said it had been fixed but life's too short to plough back through. 

A review at 1352 Apleasant place for a short break by 2books appears twice on latest activity page. 

Maybe all these duplicate posts slow down the website 😉. 

I'm sure Rowena said a week or more ago that had been passed on..................... Life's too short to check back and who knows where to actually look? 😂

Edit as I scroll down I find a third same time 

The duplicate reviews far outnumber duplicate posts on here and no one appears to notice, there are also some unpleasant & aggressive reviews sailing through unchecked at the same time.

It's the only way I know of that can prevent all the mix up of posts and how they appear. If I can get to a duplicate before anyone answers I can help but once replies are made it's a bit messy. Obviously I can't be on here all the time.

I only generally look at reviews when either I want to go to that site or something is raised on here that might arouse my interest. I don't have any jurisdiction over the review section and I think the problems there takes up a lot of Rowena's time.

I reported duplicate post 3 days ago and also sent Ro an e-mail, no idea if anything has happened.

I've never been on another website where posts have duplicated themselves.  Fundamentally just typical of the badly designed and constructed website.

Is it really people clicking twice?  If so perhaps a note could be added as in many other websites - to only click once?

"The problem is that when posting a new discussion the submit button is not greyed out so posters assume their new discussion has not been posted and they submit again, and again."

 

David, I do not believe that this is the (sole) cause of the issue. I (and most regulars I would think),  are fully aware by now that hitting the button a second time could cause the problem.   We are therefore VERY careful to only click once    .......    but the duplicate/triplicate posts STILL occur at random.

 

 

 

 

David thanks for your reply, I know the review section is not in your remit. The problem is more obvious when you view the website via latest activity (which is my main choice.) I often read the reviews because I see them on there, these are often CLs which are new to me. I now wonder if they are only being monitored when spotted on line later by a site owner or the club. However multiple repeat reviews are a regular occurrence.

When I press reply on here I normally see a blue highlighter round the reply tab. The tab turns from green to grey. This is not always an indicator that the post has gone through, sometimes it fails or there is a long delay.
