But I've disabled it momentarily to see if this whole double posting thing occurs in the "Advanced" post interface, or if it's just happening with Quick Reply.
So, this should be disabled for as short of a time as possible. I'll probably take it off in a day or so. Unless you guys don't just love quick reply as much as I do.
Anyway, just letting you guys know.
m-my productivity!
i-i-its.... gone!
:C
You big meanie.
It looks like that's the source.
Still get it back, man. We needs it.
Clicking reply twice takes too much effort.
I'm thinking it's a JavaScript bug somewhere causing the forms to submit twice in thread view. Which is weird. No plugins modify forms, so IDK why this would start out of nowhere. :(
Well, Art did recently migrate the servers. He said it may cause unforeseen issues and report them if you find them.
LG has been kind of spazzy since.
I brought it up with him and he avoided responsibility. :(
A trait to be admired.Quote:

Re-enabled. Hopefully it will fix itself if it\'s a DNS error of some magical sort from the server move. I\'ll check the JavaScript attached to the form when I can.
Once the DNS server you're using gets the advertisements of your new host address it shouldn't continue to have errors.Quote:

I didn\'t even have Internet access when this bug occurred, so it was no change I made. And all Arti did was change the server.
I don\'t know what other cause there could be, although Google seems to say this is an extremely common error in this version of vBulletin.
BLECK.
Also I think I\'ve fixed this. Some problem with vBulletin innately. The "fix" is for foreign languages, but it fixes the double post problem too supposedly.
So have fun testing it out. QR is back on. I haven\'t had any problems since. :3
test
Yeah, no QR errors anymore. But downside -- no inline post editing.
Which is something I\'m willing to sacrifice to rid of that horrid bug.
We practically just lost something like that for no reason though. This bug just occurred out of nowhere it seems.
Perhaps there is something much larger at works that us mortals can't fathom.Quote:

And again, the description mentions it [at least mostly] being language problems. Maybe the new server is sending a different content-language for the forum. Seems unlikely, but whatevs.
You're all so rude. It's not a DNS issue. That doesn't even make sense.
It's obviously a vbulletin issue (or related plugin). Even though I did migrate servers, there is nothing that would either magically cause forms to submit twice or for a request to be processed twice. If you've upgraded vBulletin core, I'd look at some of the plugins (namely vbSEO).
edit: even if forms were submitting/being processed twice, vBulletin's native spam control feature (minimum wait time) would catch it.
I didn't upgrade anything.Quote:

That's all I changed, and it fixed it. The notes for it say that some Ajax can become problematic due to language settings. I'm thinking maybe something is being sent in utf-8 and received as ISO-whatever-the-latin-code-is.
I have no clue why it'd double post. But not really important. It's just an innate vB bug. Showed up with a google search for it, with people complaining about vanilla installs doing it too.
Only change was a server change. And only correlation I can draw between a server change and a language setting is possibly the utf-8 encoding.
Otherwise, no leads.
vB sux
Yeah, pretty much. It's the best forum service, unfortunately. But it feels really slapped together sometimes.
Well considering I built Java and C++ from scratch, it should be a walk in the park for me to write something up.
Bad forum software, no problem. Give me 72 hours. No biggie.
The actual infrastructure of the code is terrible. I don't think you understand just how bad it actually is, because you're a modular loving, PHP noob.Quote:

It isn't always necessary or required obv, but using it wherever possible is a good way to organize. As someone who has used a procedural language most of his tenure in programming, I can vouch for how much time classes save you in the long run.
Modules only go so far in terms of code organization.
Hey guys lets write a forum backend in C++.
Use PHP or someshit to send custom packets to a server that makes it run database commands or something that's all interpreted in a c++ program, and then it POSTs the results back to a php page on the web server, to give you your results.
Fuck yeah, most useless and slow forum backend ever
sorry, its fucking 4am, I dont even know what the fuck Im saying
Even if you were to write forum web software in c++, you probably described one of the worst implementations possible.

Also bullshit ain't nobody here gon' be writin' no forum backend.
