HOW TO AVOID DOUBLE POSTING (CLOUDFARE ISSUE)

[tabas]

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.

Yeah, this solves the problem. Don't double post and no need to repost it once you've sent or posted already. Good thing that before seeing this thread, I've done my experiment on it and refresh the page to check if everything is posted and all good with that.

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.

Everyone is experiencing this and it's not the forum's problem but all about cloudflare having its own issue globally. Thanks to SG.

It is world wide issue with Cloudflare, not only issue on Bitcointalk.

Coinbase.com has same issue today

Cloudflare status https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

To avoid this can take effect when you post one postand you check you profile you won't post like three time in one particular thread, it happened to me right now and I deleted one of my post while it have show to me that what happened was as a result cloud Fare issues

OH is this also why a lot of profiles on bpip.org are outdated? I was checking mine earlier and noticed it was outdated. I looked up others and it was the same for them.

It's strange though since I've been regularly checking on the forum today (but mostly as a guest) and the pages loaded just fine but perhaps I was just lucky lol. However, I did encounter the "taking too long when posting" situation for the post before this one.

Update: okay this post went just fine. no circle of death or anything.

It's very simple to avoid this mistake of double posting.

Refresh the website --> Check your profile history post --> Done.

How many of you here check your post history after done posting?
I think that's the best practice to avoid this mistake.

In some of my post I didn't experience the long loading I don't know if the issue is already fixed but you could easily avoid the double posting for sure, after experiencing the issue, most of the button seems to be okay, preview button seems to be working fine and then if you already posted the topic editing it seems to be completely fine I didn't encounter any issue editing only if I click the post button I encounter the long loading.

After testing it I already understand how you could avoid getting the double post.

My post is taking too long to post and then I'm going to get the error It's just taking too long, my internet seems to be okay and fast so for sure, there are some issues.

It didn't show me my post as posted in the thread so I ended up posting my topic 2 times because of the issue so I just delete the 2nd one, browsing some topics seems to be okay and fast as well but I would just encounter the issue when I started to post.

Edited:


It seems to load for a long time without confirming that the post is posted but actually, if your going to check your post history your going to see that the post is already posted. so there are a lot of posts here in the forum that get double because after clicking the button they just don't know that the post is already posted so they ended up clicking the post button again or refreshing and clicking the post again.



Didnt encounter some of the issues it seems to be okay even though the preview is working completely, and editing seems to be okay as well, it doesnt seem to be a big problem because it is just the loading part that annoys me.

So if you click the post button already it seems like it was taking too long to load but the post seems to be posted fine, if your going to visit your recent post your going to see that the post is posted, so the tendency is you see the long loading some of the members probably think that it is still not posted but it is already posted, then they are going to refresh the page because of the loading then repost the topic so it always get double.

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:

If you click post and get loading, posting issue, site can not display well and you don't see your post. Press F5 and you can check whether your post was posted. If you see it after F5, don't click on post again.

Before you press F5, copy your post content and paste it as your draft. I use Notepad to save my post draft as I don't want to type it again if the post won't be posted and I can not get the content back.

I think that issue is fixed already as i no long have that experience while posting. Although i had similar issue early hours of today but i stopped and waited to see if it could be resolved from my end as i had to see if it was from my network provider and i noticed it was partly the error i was experiencing this morning. But everything working fine now from my end or is any one still experiencing such from their end?
