Do NOT click the "Post" button more than once.

[Shao14]

There has been an increasing number of duplicate threads and/or posts lately. I know a lot of them were not made intentionally, but made due to server's instability. I am sorry for the current state our server is in, and I have no idea what is going on, but I sincerely urge everyone to bear with it, and if when you post a new post or thread, the page seems to be frozen, please do not re-click the post button again, and in fact, do not even try to refresh the page after you have click the post button once.

 

The best course of action is to go do something else and come back in a few minutes to see if the server responsed. And go back to the forum index and re-enter the thread or section you wanted to post in, and check if your post had gone through even though it seemed to have been frozen. If you have waited for at least 10 minutes, AND you have checked that your first post did not appear, then you may re-post again. Also when you try to start a new thread, if the body of the message fails to go through the server, but an empty thread was created, try to edit that thread instead of re-post another one.

 

Impatiently re-clicking the post button will only make an already busy server even more busier, and it does not help our current situation.

 

Thank you for your patience.

Thats a f-load of crud to be shoving in, is the forum caching system recently been turned on or has it always been on?
