Confirm form resubmission

BajaBean - 3-21-2015 at 09:40 AM

After every post or reply I get a grey screen with the above message. I dont understand the details and there is no resubmit button. I have just been ignoring it. What are the consequences? :?:

After posting a reply I click the return button at the upper right and get the above message.

Well not that time. Guess I will have to pay closer attention to how and why it comes up.

Ahhh now I got it. It comes up when I use the back arrow on my browser. Google Chrome upper left corner.

Yes, what you're doing with the back button after you submit a form is re-submitting it. The "confirm" message is there to prevent people from accidentally resubmitting forms, especially when there are credit card payments involved.

It does the same thing for me, using Chrome. Maybe I'll try it with IE.

This reply is done with IE instead of Chrome, but I won't know if it does the same thing until after I post it.

Thanks SF I guess the fix is to not use the Chrome back button.

Just to complete the problem with the back arrow, with IE it says "This page has expired.

SF seems to have the answer which I'll use now.

After posting a topic or reply, I just scroll back to the top of the page and click on today's posts.

You will automatically get back to where you were reading after you post. Just give it a few seconds.
I use Chrome to browse.

Like AKgringo, I click Today's Posts to get back to reading posts here when I am done with a thread.
