Hello;

I’m using chrome on an iPhone and I seem to be double posting- has anyone experienced this? I really don’t think I’m accidentally pressing send twice. Thanks for any thoughts!

I ran into that awhile ago but I was never able to figure out if it was a problem with my internet connection or if it was an issue with the site itself. It stopped happening to me, so I assumed it was my connection.

Are you using mobile or Wi-Fi when it happens?

I've seen a lot of cases of double posts. Sometimes it's a new user who can't see what he posted and puts it up twice (I approve one and disapprove the other). I've seen it with more experienced users too. I just eliminate the duplicate when I find it.

I did it to myself by hitting the Submit twice, but that's my dumb fault.

It happens to me occasionally for no apparent reason. I think sometimes I hit the submit button twice because it took too long to respond, and I wasn't sure if it took it the first time.

Easy to delete or edit your posts. Open your post. Click the "pencil" icon. Revise and re-post. <span class="emoji" title=":wink:">😉</span>

And if I find it says "delete" I do just that.

Thank you- it seems to have resolved itself. Bruce- I’m using my cell data.
