4. What you were trying to do
5. What happened instead: there was a double post instead of the usual you are the last post


I'm not sure if this is just a freak accident or an actual bug, I'm alerting it just in case it is something that isn't known yet.

@mastergemma wow O_O it's the first time i see this XD i think maybe it was the error that occurred hmm i don't know what to say but i don't think it will bother the user who made the topic 😸

@mastergemma I've seen this before, but I have no idea how it happens.

@mastergemma @spiritkoi @mejary

Did you make this actual, physical double post? Or did you just notice that these posts existed back-to-back?

It's possible that, if a moderator deletes messages in a topic, it could appear that a single user posted twice. This isn't a bug, it's just the product of posts being deleted.

However, if you did indeed make this physical, double-post, then that means the system didn't catch it, which is indeed a bug.

Ping back and let me know.

@Ian
In the livepulse there were two of my posts in a row. I think it was a double post. There wouldn't have been time for a moderator to delete a post as I noticed it within a minute or two.

I think I double clicked the post reply but I'm not exactly sure

@mastergemma

Thanks for providing this. This was likely a lag issue, as our existing procedures in place are still catching double posts.

Please create another topic if this issue continues to persist.

For now, topic closed. Thanks much!
