Duplicate posts appearing due to message "A server error occurred. Please try again later."

[Sylvia]

I've been seeing duplicate posts showing up in different threads because of this error message that is popping up today when we try to post or edit:

The following error occurred:
A server error occurred. Please try again later.

 

[Sylvia]

The edit function is not working either - same error message pops up.

Same happened to me. Tried 'again' to post the message, and the original popped up as well. Tried to save face by editing the duplicates to read {Duplicate post}, and it wouldn't work. And, how does one delete ones own post by one's self, without needing to go through one of the administrators?

I have not posted today but have noticed duplicate post too.

Also one can not get into the website by dialing www.fsuniverse.net from Explorer or Google or Bing or Firefox. One has to "fool" the system by putting FSU into "search" and selecting a sub-forum to click on.

We can't delete our own posts here.

Duplicate posts are showing up because when the error message pops up, some are hitting the submit button again (sometimes more than once), not realizing that their post went though the first time despite the error message saying it didn't.

Double post

There is server problem. You should only press the post button once. You will get an error message, but ignore it. It will post

I'm trying that here. I just tried to post a reply in Conversations, and nothing happened at all. I hit "Post Reply", received that error message and nothing posted at all. It just saved the draft instead. Just trying it here to see if that only happens in Conversations. Crossing fingers that I was able to reply here.

 

[Simone411]

Okay, so apparently, replies cannot be posted in Conversations, but it does work here. At least it doesn't work in conversations for me that is.

The posting and editing issues seem to be fixed now.. thanks, @Server Guy!

 

[Simone411]

Just adding this, too. It must be a glitch also. All of my alerts have disappeared now. When I highlight it, I get a message that says "You have no alerts".

Now this just happened. I had several alerts earlier. I guess it has to be another glitch.

 

[Server Guy]

Let me know if you find any more of these issues. I made a typo.

You definitely fixed the post reply issue. Now, are all my alerts gone for good? I don't guess it matters because I already read all of them when I first came to FSU.

Attempting to figure out what's up with that.

Just discovered, too, that nothing happened when I hit the "Like" button. I was going to give you a "like". LOL!

Good catch! Working on a fix...

 

[mollymgr]

yeah, the like button doesn't work.

 

[Server Guy]

Try now guys.

 

[Simone411]

@Server Guy, you fixed it. All of my alerts are back now. Whoop!

 

[mollymgr]

Try now guys.

It works.

 

[Server Guy]

Moral of the story is to read over what you type.

and keep backups...

 

[Simone411]

Meant to say this earlier ... thanks so much for all you do here, @Server Guy!

@Server Guy The little arrow above the quote box that takes you to the original post is working for some posts but not for others?

Can you provide an example where it's not working?

 

[mollymgr]

#21 <--not working.
#8 <---working

 

[Dobre]

I received the same message as Simone & the same disappearing messages. The ones from prior to 2:30 A.M. and prior are back now. The ones from after 2:30 A.M. today remain gone. (No big deal, but FYI).

I've made some adjustments. Let me know if it persists.

Unfortunately, its still a problem. Both on this thread and on several threads in the JGP section
