Avoiding double posts
-
When browsing the forums, I occasionally see two identical topics posted accidentally, usually by pressing the Submit button more than once. To prevent this, I suggest that after the user pushes the Submit button, that the button be disabled and that the user is notified that the post is being submitted. Peter O.

I think the problem is caused often by some sort of delay. I have posted then recieved a server error, Next I have hit the Back button and gone back, And then I have submitted again. The second post appears to get logged first ?? Regardz Colin J Davies

You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining. Said by Roger Wright about me.

It shouldn't actually be possible to post two exact posts. The DB is checked before a posting is made to avoid these things. If you see a post that is duplicate then can you send me a link? cheers, Chris Maunder
