Fixed Conversation posts being duplicated

[AndyB]

Affected version

This latest version here on xenforo.com

Conversation posts are being duplicated (via AJAX) issue.

Steps to reproduce:

1) View a conversation.
2) Have the other participant in the conversation post a new message.
3) Now do a page reload, you will see the new reply.
4) Now make a reply to the conversation.
5) You will see the new reply made by the other conversation participant duplicated.

Am I correct in thinking that you're using Firefox?

At a guess, this might be related to how they have a tendency of caching form values with (soft) reloads.

Hi Mike,

Correct I'm using Firefox with my iMac.

As I understand it, Firefox will not change this behavior and their reasoning is that many users will accidentally lose information already entered if they accidentally navigate to another page and want to return, it's a valid argument.

I suspect the only way to overcome this issue would be to do away with the AJAX loading of new posts in the Conversation.
