I think this cannot really be avoided, I get it also from time to time. Servers do not necessary answer as the hamsters would like them to.

Makes sense.
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

A double-tap will send two requests to the server, and so you will get a message saying the message has already been posted. We could add some stuff in to avoid double-taps, but it sounds like the measures I'm thinking of taking would probably be too slow for a mouse on speed, plus this is the first I've heard of this issue so I'm loathe to devote too much time to such an isolated issue.
The double-post, where deleting one deletes the other, is an extremely odd one, though, and I can't understand how that can happen. Messages are deleted by message ID, which is enforced by the database to be unique. I can't even begin to imagine what's going on here.
Next time you see it please send me a screen shot, or better, do a "View Source" and send me the HTML please.

I've just copied the text from the OP and selected "Quote selected text" and in my preview it worked perfectly.
In the final message the quoted text appeared just after the signature...
PS: I hope this has nothing to do with my cache.
The link[^] to the final message.
Thank you!
PS: it seems it is not only in my computer that happens... now that I've broken it, please don't fire me from here...

No. I can confirm it looks like you really have broken it.

I see the same thing, so I think it is a bug.

Thank you Zac!
The last two "bugs" I announced were due to the cache in my browser...

There seem to be a lot of bugs with the forums lately.

Then I guess it's FireFox trying to annoy the hell out of me. I am going to try it in IE and Maxthon 3.

IE9... sorry I always forget it...

This has been around since day 1 on IE8.  IE9 seems to do it right.

The forum layout is always coming up as "expand posts & replies", even though I've changed it to "Normal" and clicked Update.
I'm reaching the article via a search from the CP home page.
If it makes a difference, I'm using IE8.
This is a very recent (within the last 24 hours) change.

I believe the problem is with the Search function as the same behaviour is exhibited when you try to read a post in the lounge via a search. I did post here but not seen a reply.

I have seen it for about 5+ days now, and I get it even if I get to the article by clicking on a link on the homepage or in the section the article exists in. It is getting rather annoying.
EDIT: I am using FireFox 14 on Windows 7. Haven't tried other browsers.

This is a change we introduced a while back: when you click a search result that links to a page with forums, the messages are expanded automatically in order to make it easier to find the info you're looking for. Those coming from Google, for instance, may get a hit due to a forum message, but with the messages initially collapses they won't have much luck finding the text related to their search if that text is in the messages.

The only problem with that is that EVERY message in the view is expanded, which makes it darn annoying to find what I'm looking for. It causes information overload. If it were to only open the particular message I'm interested in, then that'd be useful.

If Google would tell us what message the search term was found in that would allow us to do that.
They don't.

I don't see what Google has to do with using Code Project's search feature. If I use the textbox at the top-right of the page to search for messages that contain "dragons", the second item listed has this link: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4345375/Re-Exceptionally-explained-books.aspx. That appears to be a link to a particular message. Yet, when I click it, every message on that page is expanded.
Are you not able to differentiate between a search initiated from Google and a search initiated from Code Project? 
|
|
|
|
|
Ah. I guess it's been a while since I used the search. It just 'felt' like my preference for the layout wasn't being saved. Off the top of my head I can't think of a better way to do this and still meet the concern that motivated the change.

Could you allow us to change the view back to normal if we want to then?
Currently if you try to set it back to normal, it returns to the first page of the Forum you are in.

Please check Your For-gate password captcha
It's not work properly

And you forgot to turn off your CAPS lock key.
I've just sent your password reminder through the "send password" page with the CAPTCHA and it worked fine for me. Are you sure you entered the code in the right box, did you retry with a different code if the first failed?
