I seem to be double-posting a few times a day lately, does anyone know why? It doesn't seem to be affecting other users, at least not to the degree that it's happening to me. It's not user error (I know how to click a submit button only once).
I think it has something to do with the AJAX posting system. I think what happens (haven't investigated properly yet) is that I click submit, the AJAX POST request is fired off but the response times out, so the page Javascript does a synchronous POST. Problem is that the asynchronous POST still made it to the server, it was the response that snagged. As a result both POSTs are made and I look like a doofus for "double posting".
Anyway, thought I'd pass it along because it's kind of irritating, maybe someone should fix the Javascript logic to stop this occurring?
In case it's relevant, I run Chrome on Windows.
