Re: Double posting

Lately I also created more duplicates.

Not sure if this is related to the "recent" changes jdporter introduced, cause I couldn't replicate it. (We also had timeout issues, complicating things)

I still think a nonce mechanism to block previews to be posted twice could be a good idea, see Avoiding accidential reposts .

This would at least prevent all cases where duplicates originate from going back in browser history.

If I've got it right, I created the initial post by hitting the "create" button (as per normal), then immediately decided that I wanted to make a minor change (ie replace "This malware" with "This upstream malware"). So ... I made that change and hit the "update" button that was sitting there. But instead of updating my initial post, a second almost-identical post was created. (I then altered the subject line of the initial post to indicate that it should be reaped.) Cheers, Rob	[reply]

> So ... I made that change ... But how this? That's the crucial part. If you did click `edit` after `[create]` you wouldn't see an `[update]` but `[stumbit]` button. If you did go back in browser history, you'd see `create` again and produce a duplicate. I haven't seen `[update]` in normal threads, since we changed the edit system. As a side note: I also sometimes lost track of multiple open tabs containing edit areas, because I started research in another tab...
