Error when posting reply leading to duplicate posts

Error shown when posting (something about making the website a cup of tea, which is also ridiculous), but post is made, as are subsequently attempts to post.

Several examples here www.mumsnet.com/talk/coronavirus/4537723-for-those-that-are-not-vaxxed-would-you-get-vaxxed-only-for-travel

Yep just happened to me on a children's health thread

vodkaredbullgirl · 26/04/2022 10:02

I keep seeing double.

BarbaraofSeville · 26/04/2022 10:03

I got the error, but found that it had posted anyway, even though I thought the post had been lost.

BarbaraofSeville · 26/04/2022 10:04

Just got it posting this and when I clicked through to another window and back, the above post is sitting there unposted...

CurbsideProphet · 26/04/2022 10:04

Yep happened to me too.

This keeps happening to me too! I'm not just dismissing the error message after one go and seems to be posting even though it's saying it's not. Very strange!

Hospedia · 26/04/2022 10:20

Same.

I get the message about a server error and it appears the post hasn't gone through because all the text is still in the message box but it has gone through. It's causing multiple posts as people think their post hasn't sent so keep clicking "post".

I'm on a S21 using Chrome and whatever the latest software update is.

I'll try screenshot it when I post this.

This is the error message and the thread is showing my previous message has not sent but if I go into "threads I'm on" then my post is there (have also screenshotted to show my message does not appear)

JudgeRindersMinder · 26/04/2022 10:22

I’ve inadvertently started about 6 identical threads!

When I click into the thread, my posts still aren't showing in the thread, but when I go into Threads I'm On, they're there.

Came back into the thread and they're still not showing.

Came here to report duplicate posts too as I get the error message saying it's not posted but it has! Several duplicate posts on various threads this morning.

It’s also not updating the ‘last updated’ column. See picture of this thread which has a few posts, last one 10.24 at this point, and the duplicate which doesn’t.

Silversprinkles · 26/04/2022 10:27

Including mine Hmm

toomanytwinkies · 26/04/2022 10:28

I posted on one thread and about 10 duplicates appeared. It’s pretty unusable at the mo

Same here. My post is showing on Threads I’m On but not on the thread.

Same here. My post is showing on Threads I’m On but not on the thread. And, it won’t let me post this either. Trying again.
