Topic: ghost posts

On a forum I'm mod of, we have a problem with 'ghost' posts..
They look like double posts, but they're actually the same post with the same id:
http://phun.cs.umu.se/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=8780
Can anyone explain it? I assume it's a bug in the parser?
We've had it before, but I can't find those at the moment.

Re: ghost posts

Hm, this one seems to have disappeared?
If you search for "double post"  on that forum, you see that it has happened quite a lot before.. But it seems to correct itself after some time?

Re: ghost posts

What version of punbb are you using? That sounds like the duplicate users online issue, but that was sorted a good while ago. You would have to be running quite an outdated version of PunBB, (or possibly using postgresql), for that to happen.

Latest version, 1.2.17

As MattF said, this used to happen though I'm pretty sure it was fixed a while ago hmm
