I see a lot of you are experiecing this, so here's some tips.

1) When you Click Submit, DO NOT click it again.
2) When you reach the "GTP has encountered a Problem" page, DO NOT hit Refresh.
3) Instead, go back to the Main Forum Screen (GTP Forums).
Ex.
GTP Forums>>Site Feedback>>GTP Problems
4) NOW, click on the Forum you were making.
5) If you were making a thread, it should show up. If not, do NOT attempt to make it again.
6) If you were making a post, go to the last page, and go all the way down til' you find your post. If not there, do NOT attempt to remake it.

NOTES:
Your thread/post will NOT show up on the Main Forum Screen or New Posts screen.
It will be there though in 5 minutes.

REMEMBER, once you click Submit for anything, do NOT click it again, or the Refresh button. That is the cause for it.
Just Click "<Back" til' you get to main forums before you were going to make a post.
Trust me, this works. I just did it with this. I went all the way back to "Site Feedback" after getting the Error screen, and the thread was here.

I see some of you are still getting problems. Here's a shorter method for posts.
After you reach that error screen, just go back to the thread.
Your post won't be there....Refresh the THREAD, and wait for it too load. Your post should refresh at the bottom.

BTW, this works for the Editing Posts too. Just back out of the thread, and then go back in. Your save is there.

Just wrote this up to try and help you guys out.:)
 
Thanks it does help
But for some people (like me as you can see) it double posts even if you follow all those rules.
Threads work fine but mine got locked... :indiff:
Thanks McLaren! Shouldnt you have a McLaren as your avatar?:lol:

I also have something to add... if the page does not load do NOT hit refresh or F5, and on the problem page, leave IMMEDIATELY without clicking anything, this may still make you double post but better than 6x.

Good idea, Viper, Ill start compiling a list of links to double and triple and more-posts!
Hope its a GOOD idea this time, not like my BAD 'Lets all post here now Im an idiot!!!' thread.

Hmm, I'm surprised it's double posting for you both still.
Most of my posts have been fine.

Guys, when you click Submit, and reach the Error, just go back til' you get to this thread.
It's working fine for me.

Yeah I do, but it still double posts.

*EDIT* Heh, not this time.
 
Well, here goes nothing...
(reads intructions)
*click*
Did it work?

Edit: Crap. Followed instructions, and still a double post. I shall cease posting until the problem is officially sorted out.

How about you just stop posting for a few hours? Every time you post it makes at least 3 extras, you know it and you postwhore anyway. Your going to end up with a list linking to mostly your posts :dunce:
 
Apparently, PM's still seem to work without problems.

The trick is to be patient guys. If you get that error, go back to the thread. If it's not there, refresh the THREAD, and it should pop-up.

This is all working for me.
 
[color="blue]The "don't refresh" thing worked for me the first time like 30 min ago, then it failed after that and I got double posts.[/color]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]Did you do it for this post? It seems to have worked.

I've added a shorter method for Post making.:) [/FONT]
 
GTP finally fixed now?

*EDIT* Seems to be :)

I'm glad you find it so funny, especially since you're the one who made most of the mess. Thanks for your consideration and understanding when something breaks. :rolleyes: Be very careful with how you conduct yourself - you're treading on very thin ice.
