Double posts and posts delayed in showing up

Hey,

We're currently getting scraped by a third party that's hitting the users list page on the site repeatedly, which is causing a lot of oddness and slowdowns across the site. You may see delayed notifications, double posts, or posts in the forums taking a long time to show up after you submit them. We've been seeing a lot of scraping over the past few weeks and are examining both specific solutions (banning IPs) and more general solutions to prevent the issue. Obviously that doesn't make it any easier to use the site during periods when we're getting scraped, but hopefully things will be back to normal in the next hour or so.

Sorry for the trouble.

Thanks for the update, hadn't seen this when I posted my previous thread.

I have the same problem. I didn't notice this when I created another post, asking the same issue.

Problem solved. I was told that I needed to wait for the post to appear. So there wouldn't be a double post. Thanks for the update.

It's happened again. On occasions when I make a post, it comes up as a double notification as well. Is anyone else having this problem?

Okay
