dhollis51 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Why is it that every day someone has a ton of post of the same item for sale? is it operator error or is it forum error? it happens way too many times to be operator error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgj3 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Fairly certain it's related to people using mobile devices and thinking the poat doesnt go through and clicking it again and again until they see the result they expect only to find that each click actually worked and posted 2-5 times...

Shmella Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Ive gotten error messages from a computer recently, not from the phone. The ad has always went through regardless of the error screen so I don't hit the submit button again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Been going on for a LONG time now. I assumed it was forum error, but that nothing could be done to solve it. Edited June 7, 2016 by Chris Keen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterDrew Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) It is Tapatalk. When you hit the button to post the ad you get an error message and it appears as if it doesn't go thru. When you clear the error message and hit post again you get the error again. I think it posts an ad for the initial click, then again when you clear the error and again for the new submit. It's annoying and there is nothing on the user end that makes it seem like you just spam bombed the forum. Definitely a Tapatalk problem. I've done it once and will no longer post ads from my phone. It's annoying as hell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited June 7, 2016 by shooterDrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmella Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Again happens on a computer too. Long loading screen followed by an error message. It goes through but doesn't appear to even on a desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) To post to this forums (and anything that is using HTTP), the POST method is used. What that means, is your computer takes all the stuff you want to send to the server, bundles it into one message and sends it to the server. The message is a complete package of all the stuff you want to send to the server. If you hit post again, it starts over. I will include a capture of what was sent when I hit post for this post. The process uses a highly reliable (TCP.IP) protocol so the odds are great that the message will get through. After hitting post once and you don't see anything "happen", don't hit post again, try and refresh your device by some method.. PCs seem to work pretty well. Mobile devices, well not so much. ETA: Well, my packet capture software crashed, so I will try it one more time... This pdf shows what was sent when I pushed POST the last time You will see the text from above embedded with some control codes, all highlighted in red : EnosPostCapturePacketOnly.pdf So PLEASE: Only hit post once!
