Sometimes see duplicate of a post even though it wasn't a duplicate

[AlTech]

so sometimes on Mobile when looking at one of your posts on your profile page, it may show duplicates but if you try to hide one the. Both are hidden.

 

please fix this. thanks

When you say posts, do you mean status updates?

Is this when looking at your profile, or when viewing a topic, and clicking the notification about there being new replies to the topic? Or somewhere else entirely?

I have one possible idea, but I would need a link to a topic (/profile/etc) where it has happened to validate it.

viewing a topic mostly, like I would be looking at a topic

some has replied while I was repling

and then when  I post my reply and refresh the page, there are 2 of their posts

so I refresh it again and it is gone

 

it is like a ghost!  if I try to rate it or something, it won't save

How often does this happen? I can't think of any way that it would be possible based on how you've described it...

IDK I posted this straight after it happened once. It might be quite rare.

 

I'll try it out now and see.

 

Edit: oops nvm

Oh it is possible.

 

For me it find it most in status updates

 

EDIT: I know this won't sound helpful. But It's really hard to replicate. If I see it again, i'll screenshot it.

Yeah status updates.

 

If I make a thread somewhere on the forum it might sometimes show as 2 in the feed even though I only made one.

So you're saying that it happens in the same way for topics and status updates - you occasionally get two copies of it on your profile (or is it in the "My Activity" section, or both), or am I completely misunderstanding?

Next time it happens, can you save the page (right click -> save as -> Web Page, HTML only (or HTML, complete)) and PM it to me? I'm not sure if it will help, but it's worth a try.

Yeah it can be both status updates and topics. And I have only seen it on the profile.

I get something similar to this when I'm on mobile version. I will quote a message by someone else and for some reason it quotes the previous message above it or another post I have made.

If you have previously quoted that post, then decided not to submit it, it gets saved in the editor so you can recover your post if you accidentally left the page, which may be what you're experiencing. If not, it is a different issue to the one discussed in this thread, so can you start a new topic for it, so that I can track the issues more easily.

think he might be talking about something like this:

Spoiler

This was like a week ago but forgot to do anything about it  (yes, that was like at 75% zoom ). 

 

edit: Also, I agreed with the first post but the second post I didn't agree to (someone else did) so I was suspecting it was an actual double post.

That was an actual double post, not what is happening here where one of the posts is just disappearing when you refresh their content (though a moderator hiding the post hasn't been ruled out).

Fair enough, just couldn't see why he would post the same thing twice in the space of 15~ seconds

Aha, that makes more sense because I have sometimes had issues with my phone in chrome when I accidentally click on the back button etc. Thanks for the help
