| I keep getting messages saying my post didn't post. So I click 'Submit Message' again, and there ya go -- a double post. I thought the GW forum format was awkward and unwieldy ten years ago. Then I took a break for six or seven years and just came back, and it's exactly the same. Even the illustrations on the forum pages haven't changed. Still with that stem of asters on the perennials page! |

| Okay, something is wrong. That message up there? All I got was a hanging hourglass and no confirmation it had posted, so I closed out my browser and came back in, and there it is. |

| In another forum, someone suggested that GW is more likely to create a double post from an iPad or iPhone. It seems the case for me. |

| I'm on a PC, and I get the same situation as MulchMama - you hit submit, and then there is no confirmation, or after a VERY long time I hit the submit button again, sometimes only to get a rejection saying it already posted, sometimes not and I get a double post. GW seems to be really slow (no matter what computer I use) and I think we a) get tired of waiting & hit submit again so it posts twice or b) we get an erroneous message saying it didn't post when it actually did, and so when we re-do it, it posts a second time. Dee edited to say, at least now we can edit and/or delete any double posts! |

| Yes, Dee, but when I tried to edit my double post to replace with 'delete, double post', it took five tries before it worked. I'm also on a PC and I'm having the same experiences. |

| I've noticed a really long delay while the post loads...just be patient and let it do its thing rather than hit submit again. I rarely get double posts since doing that. |

nice Eric
I think most of the not-because-gardenweb-is-slow posts are ipad and iphone related. When you hit the back browser they will resubmit the post if you happen to get back to it..... hence the duplicate posts hours or days later. |
