Posts repeating themselves Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Often when I submit a long post with lots of quotes (example: http://www.apolyton.net/forums/show...959#post3402959) it seems to display parts of the post again, as though it is repeating itself. Do other people get that?

I'm running Firefox with pipelining enabled on XP Home if that makes any difference?

Hmmm did it disappear after you refresh of scroll it out of sight and scroll it back? Or did MarkG actually have to edit it out?

I mean, the sentence was so good it is worth of saying it twice.

Snowflake, the post I link to, as with the others I have noticed it with... the repetitions remain after reloading scrolling, rebooting, clearing cache, everything I could think of, except loading it in IE which I'll try in a bit.

Pipelining is this experimental feature in Firefox that speeds things up by about 30% in my case. Go to "about:config", change "network.http.pipelining" to "true", "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to "8", "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true". Restart firefox and enjoy!

I've never had a problem with this, but I don't use Firefox.

Use IE.

I'm also really suprised that somebody didn't post the samething twice in a row in this thread.

I considered it. I am also surprised though; it would have been very BC-like, but he passed up the chance.

That's what I thought intially, that I might have accidentally copied part of the post, but I hit edit and it was fine, indeed checked the clipboard and the repeated section wasn't there (only quotes from opponent).

Actually it's not, sometimes even a correct job will result in a buggy post.

Usually you can solve it by editing the post, not making any changes, and clicking submit reply.
