duplicate post due to internet connection or other causes? read this!

Things like duplicate post can happen especially if your internet connection suddenly stopped or become unstable and when you want to submit your post the forum goes blank or you get error message such as 502 or 504 or Network problem. When this thing happen DO NOT RELOAD the page immediately. Instead, copy the thread's web address and then go to that thread to see whether your post has been submitted or not.

Why do this?

Because when you try to submit a post and then your internet got disconnected/become unstable/get 502/504/Network problem there is a chance that your post already reach the server but the page fail to open. For example:

You tried to submit your post by clicking at 10:40:20 AM
your post reached the server at 10:40:22 AM
internet got disconnected at 10:40:23 AM
page fail to load at 10:40:24 AM
reload at 10:41:30 AM
duplicate post reach the server at 10:41:31 AM
BAN from moderator reach your profile at 12:45 AM LOLS




So the solution for this kind of problem are:

1. don't reload the page but rather just open a new tab and then go to the thread where you want to submit your post and check first. If your post is already posted on the thread then you can avoid violating the forum rules (regarding duplicate post).

2. Or you can just press the "Back" button on your browser and then reload the page and if you see that your post is visible then you can avoid submitting a duplicate post.



However, if you mistakenly do this mistake then you can do one of these things:

1. delete the post by yourself. This is the easiest thing to do but you can only modify or delete the post up until 1 hour after you submit the post (you can check the time of your post just above your avatar on your post box). After 1 hour you will not be able to modify/delete it anymore.

2. if 1 hour have passed you must contact a moderator and ask him/her to delete the post for you.

3. if you got a ban before you or a moderator can delete the post then please go to the moderator who gave you a ban and tell him/her about the mistake and he will consider your case and if he judge that you are right then the ban/warning will be withdrawn. If you do not know who banned you then you can still contact any moderator and we will check your case for you.



I hope you can avoid this kind of mistake in the future.

We are glad you are assisted by this thread. It is something that is common to all of us, I normally just refresh the page before clicking on "Post Quick reply" again so that if the post is displaying then i do not have to re post.

Thank you mod. I always face this kind of issue and I was shocked I got warning due to this. Now I'm being extra careful and if I face any 502 or 504 error I just leave the forum for at least 1 hour and then come again. Usually the problem is fixed by then.

It happened to me yesterday, I was facing loading issue not due to the internet connection, but from the side of server of MT5. I got worried last night when my post accidentally posted two times (merged with previous but balance increased), then I immediately edited my post and wrote there that it was not intentionally, it was due to 502 server error.

Mods are matured enough here so I am less worried now about it because it is already deducted from my balance

I modified the 1st post to make it easier for members to read and get the solutions. Hopefully there will be no more member fall in this kind of mistake anymore.

All senior members of this forum know if there post get repeated they do delete it by their self so i think its our duty just to give at least an infraction if any one repeat the post .

just to make our forum clean and healthy .

I also experienced the errors yesterday but after a while plus clearing my cookies and cache i was able to access the forum but with occasional difficulties.
Thanks to the MT5 IT Team, they have worked on the issues and today I am having a smooth browsing around.

I am having quite strange view of forum. I mean, like this: http://postimg.org/image/qzg7ewbcd/

Is it only me?

P.S: I am not sure if uploading image on third-party website is okay or not. If it is not okay, I hope that mods will remove it. I just meant to update mods so problem could be resolved more quickly!

Yeah, that thing can happen. Try clearing your cookies and cache and then reload the page. If that still doesn't work then try disconnecting your internet connecting so you can get a different IP and then reload the page.

I have faced this problems many times. Mainly,it occurred when my internet connection became dis-connected. But i can see my Double post after getting my internet connection back. Then i ''Edit Post'' and deleted all of my double posts.

Thanks a lot sir for this informative thread.
Regards.
