(and it happened last night) 1) Write post 2) Click "Post" but nothing happens 3) Wait 20 seconds 4) Click "Post" again and it goes through instantly 5) I see only my one post on the feed 6) Five minutes later I see my second post show up Note: when I click it the first time and nothing happens... literally nothing happens... I don't get any "spinning" or "loading" icons... the browser simply acts like I never clicked at all. Edited January 15, 2014 by eidolonFIRE

Well i get a spinning refresh disc at the top left of the page, gotta wait until it stops spinning, if you click again it will post twice, but yes something is not working right that's for sure. See you said you clicked twice which means you are posting twice, the second one always goes through instantly. Edited January 15, 2014 by Sonovabich eidolonFIRE 1

For instance, you cannot upload images using IE because it does display the "find image" instruction; using Chrome, I have no prob. Don't know if there's a correlation with double posting but some testing with Chrome vs. IE might be revealing. vipersniper 1 Awards

See you said you clicked twice which means you are posting twice, the second one always goes through instantly. You could also try this m8, if as you say you are waiting for around 20 seconds after you have first clicked "post" after that that 20 seconds don't click post again but instead click out of the post (arrow pointing left top of the page next to refresh button) it will bring you back to the home page, when you get back to homepage then click refresh and see if your post as gone through, i have done this a few times and even though it looked like the post wasn't working it had gone through after all.

It could be a good idea to copy all the text one has just typed onto the clipboard (CTRL-C) before leaving the editor. If you've just treated us all to a few paragraphs on the latest hot topic, it'd be a shame to lose it all if it hasn't posted correctly. Sonovabich 1 Awards

After typing something in I always highlight everything I typed in, right click on it and hit copy. After hitting the post button once...if nothing happens, just go to the top and hit the Home button. Check to see if your post came up. If it did not you can always try it again where you have everything copied to your clipboard. You can just go back to reply and right click in that box again and hit paste.. That has worked for me several times without double posting. And I have not had to re-post by pasting. Just going to the home key has worked.. Hope this helps....I am sure SittingDuc is working on it...Just be patient... eidolonFIRE 1 Awards
