Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 That has also happened to me as it did with Fred Short's and others as of late, but then I recalled what I did in hindsight that may have caused it with mine. This may be a solution to prevent it from happening to any of us in the future. On the day that it happened to me, my post appearing 3 times, I remember after having submitted it I hit the BACK button to re-read what I just wrote as I do know that our posts do not always immediately appear after we submit them. However, after I hit the back button and expecting it to take me back to my post before I SENT it, all I got was, " Page can not be displayed " or essentially nothing. So, being a smartie, I said ok AOL be that way! You didn't lose my post! I know you didn't! So, I clicked the REFRESH/RELOAD on the " Page can not be displayed " and sure enough my post came back to me in full to re-read, BUT... I noticed (afterwards) when I clicked the >>>refresh/reload<<< button to re-read it, it NOT only brought me back to my post but it also RE-SENT/reposted it again. Well, I did that twice on the day my post appeared 3 times. Meaning, I hit the back button twice and clicked the reload/refresh twice and sure enough my post was posted 2 more times along with the 1 time I had posted it originally for a total of 3 times. Thus, I learned to do this, to just wait till my post appears to re- read it because IT WILL, sooner or later. Thus, don't hit the back button and if you do and you get a page that say's, " Page can not be displayed " or essentially nothing, DO NOT hit the refresh/reload button on that or yer post will post more than once. luv, grady;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 Because of the quirkiness (sp) of I write and edit on a notepad page and then copy and paste it here. This also allows me to keep a copy in case I need to refer to something I wrote at a later date. > That has also happened to me as it did with Fred Short's and others > as of late, but then I recalled what I did in hindsight that may have > caused it with mine.
