Clicking post button and then stop button on browser
-
I don't know whether you are aware of this, or whether this can be fixed, but when you write a message and click on the 'Post Message' button and then click the stop button on your browser the message is still posted. So if you have made a mistake (I know I can use the preview button, to view what i am posting before I post it!) it is posted regardless of the fact that you have pressed the stop button on your browser. This can lead to multiple posts, because the user cannot see whether it was posted or not without having to open there browser and direct it to CP again.
You need a slower connection...

Hey! :-D it's like asking : "I typed a message, and I suddenly clicked on the close('x') button of the IE window, it just got closed. Can you do something to fix it?";P
Press: 1500 to 2,200 messages in just 6 days? How's that possible sir? **Dr.Brad :**Well,I just replied to everything Graus did and then argued with Negus for a bit.

Chris even though the majority of the time you won't fix this i know that in PHP I can check if the connection to the server was terminated. Does ASP have a similar feature?

There is "IsClientConnected" available. So check that before actually posting the message? The problem there is that it's very unreliable. If the message has been submitted then there's a small and random window of opportunity to bail out.

Well that could provide a small amount of protection, but if you were serious about it you could roll back on termination. But yeah it wouldn't take much to make a small check that would eliminate a small amount of it. Also one other thing, for Shogs CPhog do you provide him a API or does he just go through the normal process?

CPhog uses client side stuff - Chris hasn't given Shog any special API as far as I know :-)

There's nothing to fix there, it's not a bug.

sending is usually much faster than retriving the response page. so it LOOKS as it is still posting, but in reality, the message is already posted.

Linkify!|Fold With Us!Oh sorry, for some reason I thought you replied to the question about a custom API for Shog. But that is not what this is about, this is about pressing the stop button. When you press that it will terminate the connection to the server and so Chris can assume the post is no longer required.

What I meant is that when you press the "STOP" button, the message was already sent to the server, the server redirected you to your new post, but the browser is still busy fetching them.
