• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

How to avoid double posting

for like, three days straight, I was being sent to a page with the vBullrtin logo saying the site ha a fatal error and was removed. I panicked.

Then I got those that happened when fprums.dragonflycave.com crashed for a day, so... Its been hectic getting on. EVERY OTHER PAGE I GET A 500
 
does anyone understand that glitch that happens when the forum says there's a second page of a thread, so you click it and it just takes you back to the first one? like there's a post on the second page but it's invisible. o.o
 
^I speculate that that's the cause of invisible posts: Someone double-posts, then deletes the most recent one?

No, that's not it. It usually happens when there is a duplicate post, and one of those duplicates ends up deleted later after someone else posts to get the thread back to normal. It's probably more along the lines of the same AJAX issue Butterfree mentioned, though I wouldn't know for sure. Certainly I've seen it happen/had it happen in threads that had no deleted posts at all beforehand.
