    Has anyone else noticed this issue when sometimes you make a post it sometimes makes 2 seperate posts with the same content?
    I've seen quite a few times where it's happened and assumed people were double posting until it started happening with my own posts..lol.

    Yah, I noticed it many times in forum threads in the last couple of days. In fact, I reported about 8 to 10 duplicate posts in the last 48 hours. This is happening with me especially in private conversations. What exactly happens is that when I press the reply button at the bottom of the field meant for replying, the page freezes for a few moments and when it's back to normal, I see two or sometimes even three completely separate posts as you say but with the same content.
    I figured out it was some error at my end but seems like it's a bug here on DP.

    If anyone multiposts, make a bad post report on second on in the series and alert us.

    For that post, that was an edit, so perhaps its happening for those that edit their posts, the edit is saved as a new post.
