Possible glitch this morning

Apr 1, 2014 11:49PM PDT

I've been getting the following

"Sorry, there was a problem submitting your post. Please try again"

when submitting a post but it submitted just fine. I tried in the test forum and it happened there too. It's about 9:48 Eastern here on Tuesday Apr 2.

Even Digger posts twice. Wasn't Steven clear enough? You get an error message, but the post gets posted and there is no error. Well, that is, the error is that the error message appears.

In fact, if I delete all those duplicates (some people post the same message three or four times) I'm getting a message that the delete failed. But it didn't. So by now I know to ignore that message.

Don't you hate it when someone

presses "print", nothing happens right away so they press the button over and over? Finally, when exasperated, they shutdown, restart, and the printer spits out 50+ copies and runs out of ink or toner doing so? PCs can test one's patience almost better than the Kennedy at rush hour can test your bladder? Happy

Thanks for reporting this...

I have alerted our engineers to the problem. Looks like even though the message "Sorry, there was a problem submitting your post. Please try again" appears after submitting your post, the post is actually going through. So it is a false positive message which is confusing people submit.

There are going to be a lot of duplicate posts today Sad

Hopefully we'll get this fixed before it get out of hand.

Thanks Steven!
