gjm 3258 Report post Posted January 23, 2014 There have been a number of multiple postings over the last few weeks. I've noticed that when starting a new thread, or replying to an existing one, it sometimes seems to take a while for the post to be... errmm... posted. However, if you think that your post hasn't been accepted, try opening a new browser window and see if your post is one of the most recent ones. It probably is. So rather than click again (causing the multi-post), have a look first. The issue isn't with posts being accepted (it more than likely has), but that the forum isn't coming back with a confirmation.

gjm 3258 Report post Posted January 23, 2014 For example - it happened with this post! ^ I clicked on post, and 30 seconds later the forum hadn't confirmed. Opening a new window and clicking the 'View New Content' link showed my post to be at the top of the list. No problem. Just close the window where you had entered your post.

Allanw 1072 Report post Posted January 24, 2014 I find it's easier to highlight your text, copy it (Crtl+C) then press F5 (to refresh). If the post is there, sweet. If not, Paste (Crtl+V) your text in the reply box and submit it again. Worked for me, though I don't have it happen much at all (will happen now though, just coz I said that!) Maybe the interwebnet needs new batteries? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted February 4, 2014 Wheather or not I'm on my iPad, cell phone, laptop or desktop sometimes it hangs indefinitely when you hit the submit button for your post. I've now learnt to just hit the back button then refresh and the post you've made appears. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
