Testing.

 

Test #2.

 

Seems to be working.

 

Works for me also.

 

The obvious answer is that your computer is fucked up. You may want to look into that first.

 

Can you describe this in more detail? What posts twice? The BBCode tag is inserted twice? Or, your entire post is submitted twice (double post)?

Did you install any new browser addons/extensions recently or change any settings recently? Are you using any addons like AdBlock or NoScript that might block JavaScript?

Is is possible that your mouse is physically clicking twice on a single click? This happens sometimes when the button starts going bad.

 

The BBCode tag is inserted twice? YES.

I use all the standard google ad blocks, but I will check to see if javascript is on and working.

Mouse is not clicking twice, just did a complete synapics re-install [which controls the mouse]

 

A frequent problem with ad and/or script blocking software is that it sometimes accidentally blocks JavaScript that Phun needs in addition to the other stuff that you intended to block. I've described the issue before in reference to AdBlock, but the concept is the same no matter what browser or blocking addon. Try temporarily disabling it entirely just to see if it fixes the problem. Or try a different browser temporarily to try to isolate the problem.

If it stops when you turn off AdBlock, you'll need to make sure Phun is whitelisted. If it stops when you switch browsers, at least you know it's not your hardware and we can narrow it down further.

So, is it a trackpad then, or a mouse? I just ask because I've had many mice do that exact same thing. The physical actuator in the mouse button breaks in a way that a button double clicks when you single click. In fact, I think that's the only way I've had a mouse break on me.

Just to be sure, try testing it out here:

(single) Click that green "or here" link and it will show you the mouse events that fire. You'll get a few, but make sure you only get a "click" and not a "dblclick".

 

I tested it on Internet Explorer and it works fine. All of the posting is fine.

I tested on the mousetest, mine is a laptop so no actual mouse, but registered fine, no doubleclick.

I disabled ad block regular and still had the problem, I believe it is my google ad block pro settings, which I do not know how to manipulate. Is it redundant to have ad block and ad block pro?

 

First of all, what browser are you using? Chrome? But, yeah, you'll want to disable one of them and use either AdBlock or Adblock Plus. Then you'll want to either whitelist "forum.phun.org" entirely, or use the filter exception I posted in the other thread:

Code:

@@||phun.org/clientscript/*.js

How exactly you do that depends on which addon/extension and whether it's Firefox or Chrome.
