[SOLVED] Double posts?

Is it just me or has there been a sharp increase in the incidence of double (or on occasion more) posts over the last couple of days.

By double posts, I don't mean cross-posting, but obviously inadvertent duplicate posts appearing below each other in the same thread.

Has there been some change to FluxBB, or is this a bug?

Re: [SOLVED] Double posts?

It seems you can't edit your posts either. I tried to append this:

--

#edit I see why: when you hit 'Submit' you get an error message:

Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

Error message:
Premature end of script headers: php

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 500

Apache

...and hitting 'Refresh' resends the form.

Re: [SOLVED] Double posts?

I've been having this issue as well.  First time I've ever double posted on this board.

As a general rule, just don't click 'submit' multiple times. Doesn't really happen to me, I'm used to slow connections so I just click 'submit' and go have a coffee (or just to another tab).

Re: [SOLVED] Double posts?

Yesterday I noticed that after submitting a post I wasn't redirected to the thread. I then noticed that the post had been accepted in another tab so I didn't try to re-submit.

I also got the same issue yesterday. After a double refresh I found the post there. +1 nagoonee. I do the same.

Re: [SOLVED] Double posts?

We did some database maintenance yesterday, I think the internal server errors are caused by locked tables, the double posts are caused by page refreshes.

Thanks JGC. That would account for it.
