HOW TO AVOID DOUBLE POSTING (CLOUDFARE ISSUE)

[HONDACD125]

Is anyone else having the same issue for the last hour or so? All the other pages are opening very fast but for some reason bitcointalk is extremely slow to the point of being barely usable.

Today there is some issue when opening Bitcointalk account or posting new reply. I saw many users posted same reply multiple times. if you are facing same cloud issue then don't worry and posting new reply don't need to post multiple times. you should check first before making post second time. if first one already posted then no need to post another.

Solution:
When you post new reply or thread then first of all write post and then copy all post. when you click on post you will see this kind of message:

I've had the last few hours, well to go to other pages it's still perfectly normal but when I start posting I always run into issues here.

When this message appears , samply go back to posting page and refresh your page. you will see that your post already posted despite of this error. it's mean there no need to post again. If anything wrong happen and your reply not posted then samply reply again by just pasting you copied in above step.

I don't know how it works on your device but if you have posted a reply before and it has actually reflected on the thread but for some reasons like glitch, network issues or whatever you not directed to the post you just made, if you then choose to send it again it should take you to a page where it's written you may have accidentally wanted to send same thing twice.

But this isn't really a big problem if you have some Patience when trying to make a post I think I would help you to avoid posting the same thing twice

The network error today has been challenging in making replies and particularly new post. I'll add by saying if anyone has made a duplicated post due to the error experienced without knowing that the first post has already been posted despite the error messages but still continued refreshing not knowing it's making a duplicate. Do well to report to the moderator to delete the very duplicates. So such posts could be deleted.

Some people noticed the glitch and were able to control the way they posted. Just as the OP suggested, if you see such an error, you are supposed to check your profile and see if it was posted before you post it again to avoid duplicate posts.

You can also delete the duplicate reply yourself using the delete option. I tried it, and it works, which makes me think that you don’t have to wait for 24 hours before you can delete your post.

Once I click on post and notice that the page is not loading all I do is to go back to open a new tab and go back to that thread and see if my post had appeared if it has I simply close the old tab from which the post was made simple as that....

I think I saw a user today made 8 posts in a row because of this lagging, I guess he/she just kept clicking on "post" button think it was their phone's fault not realizing that it was a general issue. And since the lagging started I haven't seen that image you posted tho, the only thing is those annoying cloud fare asking me to click on checkbox to see if my connection is secure or not.

The glitch in network today has been some challenge. I actually thought it was due to my time out or interval between posts but, with the rest of you haven’t experienced same issue, I take it to be something out of the ordinary.

Still, it isn’t something to be alarmed about haven’t experienced other network glitch in the past. This one though has lasted more than expected but, will be he resolved.


Yeah, chances are that you might make duplicate post or even have your post lost hence, having to copy before proceeding to post could serve some purpose and in the event of duplicate posts, you can easily delete the duplicate.

I wrongly thought I was the only person encountering the these challenge today but I haven't been able to login not to talk about posting I was seriously thinking the other way round, I hope this network issues has stop permanently.

I prefer using the preview button because it will update once you click it and you will see new other new posts or your own post. That way, I don't have to open new tab for the same thread but yours works fine. It's just we have our way ways of checking if your post is already posted or not. It's up to you if you try it or not and I think OP should use this or what you have explained to know or to check if you have posted in the thread or you still have to post it.

This is not the first time such as happened, and double posting is caused by different factors. Network failure from the poster's end also caused double posting and also from forum software downturn or mistake from the the poster clicking twice in a post. Like what Happened today was a frequent occurrence which I have noticed for many times so as I saw the issue, I just let it be and wait for the network to restore itself before start posting.
What I will say is that when you post and the page took you to the cloudflare message, don't repost again but go and check the thread to know if your post is there or not before taking any action again.

Fortunately, I did not make a double post, but today I noticed that opening the forum is slow and a CAPTCHA is being checked before entering the site. Perhaps there are technical problems or security measures.

[Broadanbig]

I initially had the same experience mate but I had to wait patiently to see for myself how it goes. The first post I made today happens to  reflect twice when I discovered it, I had to delete one and leave the other. As you have said being patient enough to see you paid would be better or you copy your post so you can post it it happens that the initial did not load.

Well, good for those that were able to quickly noticed the glitch and know how to control it but what about the newbies in the forum ? Those that are having to experience this glitch for the first time since their membership in the forum. They may not have the know how to avoid the duplicate that some other person's did, except maybe they get an exposure about it like this very OP thread explains.

delete option is not working for me when you create topic of your own, but the solution i discovered on my own at the moment without having to go through all this process the OP mentioned out there is when you are done writing click the POST and its loading up and the page refused to load to show that the post is replied, just go down to your profile and look at the SHOW LAST POST OF THIS PERSON there you will see that the post is already posted even the POST COUNT will tell.

NOTE: dont double click the POST BOTTON if not you will end up SPAMMING post in one trade

I appreciate your efforts.
This is a nice tip for anyone who feels they must make xy number of posts in the forum today whether the cloud fare and forum issues allow them or not. The process you described worked.
But if you are a normal user of the forum, why not consider to slowdown or not to use the forum until the issue is solved.
I have read many people complain about this. I can say I am lucky from my end, I don't issues with posting in the forum.

[Myleschetty]

I think it's a technical problem because this forum is not the only place that's experiencing this issue cause an application client for P2E is also experiencing some network difficulty but to avoid double posts it's better to tab the thread after clicking post and get the below two response.

I don't think there is any board that allows users to be able to delete their post immediately after it's been created. Some boards don't allow deleting at all, so why would others want you to allow the post to stay for at least 24 hours?As for comments under threads, I just confirmed today that most of the threads allow us to delete our comments immediately after they are posted.
 
Checking to see if your post was posted or not is an idea that one will get immediately after they have made the first mistake, if not on a normal day, provided you are making your own comment based on your opinion. To me, I don't really look at those sometimes because I might likely repeat this post mistake.
 
If it were how the system usually uses to detect when one has made the same post before and when you try resubmitting, they will try to remind you that you have dropped such a comment earlier, which could be a warning for you to let go.

I don't think I'm having this kind of experience, though, because mine is not displaying the cloud flare error (an error occurred), but it's just something that keeps asking me to verify the cloud flare security, and after verifying, it still takes me back to the same message I'm trying to send. But the process that I have devised to avoid double posting is to open my profile on a different tab, then open the tab where I am typing my comment separately. After I submit a comment and verify the cloud flare, I will just go over to the other tab and refresh it to confirm that the comments I dropped have been submitted.

I saw many users posted same reply multiple times. if you are facing same cloud issue then don't worry and posting new reply don't need to post multiple times. you should check first before making post second time. if first one already posted then no need to post another.

Almost everyone who was online on the forum today encountered this problem, and at first I thought it was a problem with my network; then I thought maybe I had run out of data; and finally, after connecting to another network, I still encountered the problem; but, when I tried to search something on Google and it worked, that's when I realised the site was having issues. At that time i was making a post and after i clicked post button it took some time to load the page, i tried to post multiple times but an error page displayed i was frustrated and thought my post was gone but lucky enough after sometime i noticed my post count has increased and the posts i made actually went through So i had to delete the duplicate copy.

When this message appears , samply go back to posting page and refresh your page. you will see that your post already posted despite of this error. it's mean there no need to post again. If anything wrong happen and your reply not posted then samply reply again by just pasting you copied in above step.

I tried refreshing the website when I first encountered it, but it was still displaying the error page. It wasn't until I went away for approximately an hour that I realised my post had been made successfully. When you are in that circumstance, you might want to try posting again because you don't think the forum is having an issue. I think that's what occurred to everyone, which is why they all posted duplicates. Moderators delete duplicate posts that the poster is unable to delete.  

I haven't been able to login not to talk about posting I was seriously thinking the other way round, I hope this network issues has stop permanently.

This was the main reason I didn’t make any posts after experiencing this problem, this is not my first time the site is experiencing this problem and anytime it happens i try not to make a post until after some time that the issue might have been resolved. This can’t be permanently because regular site maintenance is required and sometimes unexpected issues come up so you have to get used to it. Let’s just hope this doesn’t happen often.

I notice lots of people have being complaining that they are finding it difficult to post, and people that have being post are ending up making the same posts multiple times. Since that have being posting, i haven't made any duplicate replies, sometimes when trying to post, its going to keep on loading and not notifying that the post have been submitted already, some people end up clicking on submit button multiple times which will end up submitting the replies multiple times, so the best thing to do is just click on submit button once and go back to your profile to confirm if it has being posted.
