Lately after clicking the submit button, I get a pop up that says "You've already submitted this form" .   The page doesn't refresh and it appears my post wasn't submitted.  ( This is an intermittent problem)

I can manually refresh the page and the post appears on the thread.  

If I press the submit button again I get the dreaded double post. (Sorry about that Case) 

Any ideas why I am getting this pop up and my posts don't simply refresh after smashing the submit button like the use to do?

Yep been going on for months when I've been using my iPhone!

Also the reply box isn't clearing all the time. I've started using Tap a Talk app more (normally I only use it when posting photos). Getting better results.

It happens on my desktop PC allot also. I quit thinking my post was not submitted and clicked submit again, then It quit double posting.

Another glitch in the matrix.

I use my iPad for this forum and this problem happens occasionally. Much more than I like. It's a real PITA.

I'm sure the bosses are aware of it.

Hopefully they will find a fix soon.

It certainly is a PIA.

Yup---I've been getting that for a couple weeks---About 6 times this morning.

All I do is Copy my post, then hit "cancel draft".

Then Refresh the page, and when the page refreshes, my post appears.

If it doesn't show up, I can Paste what I Copied.

I'm sure they'll fix it soon.

LOL---On Edit---I just had to do it on this Post.

I think moving the forum to any other software platform would be a nightmare.  Think of all the threads that would have to be moved and what are the odds the two platforms would work seamlessly.  One thing that I can think of as an issue right off the bat is the photos that are directly uploaded into the current forum instead of hosted at a photo site.  Either those photos would have to be hand connected back to their threads or be lost.  So it's probably not a practical thing to do unless the forum is totally started fresh from scratch on another platform.

Someone may know a way to do it, but I think it would be a major nightmare for Jeff.

There is something up because not only is the "already submitted " but I have to keep on login...

I know this will probably jinx it, but so far today it hasn't happened yet!

It seems to me that the problem being experienced has nothing to do with a forum members computer, and it is not specific to SMF alone. The same problem exists on several of the 7 or 8 remaining forums that continue to use the Wikia Fandom platform.
