CBB 3.0 Double Posting

Since upgrading to CBB 3.0 many of my users are getting a lot of double posts in the forum, which they are now starting to complain about.

I have tried it my self and it definitely does do it.

In the quick reply section (post reply) enter some text and then post it. Often it will go away with no IE progress bar but if you wait it will eventually come back and say you have successfully submitted the posting. But when you look at the forum there is a double posting. Also sometimes when posting it will also give a pink message saying that the session has expired, but it only took me 5 or 6 seconds to type the text and submit it.

Thanks in advance
Terry.

Is "double posting" only with IE or browser independent?

Sorry I don't know, I only use IE and as far as I know most of my users do also.

This problem is more than just an IE problem. I installed Netscape 8.1 and tested it.
When both IE and Netscape are run directly on the server there is no problem posting.
When coming in from my office through the internet IE causes double posting and Netscape show an alert saying the operation timed out. I think that the double posting is IE doing a retry trying to get a response.

The bit about:
"When both IE and Netscape are run directly on the server there is no problem posting." is wrong as it just did it when operating on the server.

To fix the problem change line 629 in Viewtopic.php.

From:
$submit_button->setExtra('onclick="if(document.forms.quick_reply.message.value == \'RE\' || document.forms.quick_reply.message.value == \'\'){ alert(\''._MD_QUICKREPLY_EMPTY.'\'); return false;}else{ document.forms.quick_reply.submit();}"');

To:
$submit_button->setExtra('onclick="if(document.forms.quick_reply.message.value == \'RE\' || document.forms.quick_reply.message.value == \'\'){ alert(\''._MD_QUICKREPLY_EMPTY.'\'); return false;}else{ return true; }"');

Tested with both IE and Netscape.

Terry
