Yeah, Opera Rocks

#1651 posted by Spirit on 2013/03/04 17:50:32

All the recent double posts make me wonder if some browser stopped warning on resending post data on a refresh.

Opera does not seem to resend at all which of course is desirable.

Let's see:

I behave like Opera, not resending, not prompting.

And This Concludes Our Scientific Experiment

The conclusion is that people are using Internet Explorer 4.0

Weird. Make gamma rays or moon phases?

Nope

As I stated before, Chrome.

Feature Request

#1661 posted by Spirit on 2013/03/05 20:10:35

metl, could you make an anchor in view_thread.php right after the top-most pagination before the first rendered post? And then point to that in "New X" links.

Would save at least 42 milliseconds of scrolling whenever one visits posts with long main posts. ;)

Test in Chrome

So Firefox (and every other browser once upon a time) lets you refresh without posting, Chrome offers to resubmit the form. I'm not sure why it offers that, since i use a redirect to help clear out the form data (so that people can refresh the page without worries.) Chrome is just too clever; I guess i'll need to find another way.

It's amazing and sad how many people seem to click yes without thinking though. I hope they don't do that for java applets.

One Common Solution

#1666 posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/03/14 08:35:24

Is to store a magic value in the session and in a hidden form field. On submit, the session value is removed. If the session value is missing, nothing gets posted.

Missing Or A Mismatch

#1667 posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/03/14 08:35:56

That is.

#1668 posted by RickyT33 on 2013/03/14 08:53:42

Or manually kill the $POST vars after submission maybe.... ?

To be fair, that's what happens when too many things ask too many stupid questions. You condition people to click YES out of reflex.

You may already have tried this, or already have this. But, try putting "exit;" after your header("Location: ") redirect.

not sure why it can happen, but this means you loaded the page with one IP address, but when you submitted your post you had a different IP.

Maybe it happens on mobile phones more because they can change networks frequently? (edge <-> 3g <-> wifi)

Okay

#1674 posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/03/15 07:55:25

I understand. I'm at home where I'm in my wifi, but sometimes it switches to mobile broadband for some reason. Thanks!
