Server glitches implicated in some dup posts?

[ww]

Lately (in ca 60 days < today -- 2010-03-09), I have been noticing an anomaly: my clicks on certain submit buttons (including "vote" in Newest Nodes, "preview" and "create" when creating a response to a parent node, and a few others (sorry, not logged as carefully as I should have) produce in response, rendering of the Gates (in the window of origin -- that is, where I clicked) instead of the expected outcome -- preview, create or vote cast..

Anecdotal evidence in the CB and elsewhere, that others have also experienced this. In my case, it's occuring with w32 and linux vers of FFox, 3.5.n on both. My impression is that this "get the wrong page" phenomonon occurs most frequently -- but NOT exclusively -- when the site is exceptionally slow.

A case in point is presently visible in this section; in my replies to id://827391.
and, an instance I suspect, in cdarkes at id://827495 amd id://827494
and -- who knows -- perhaps some of the items recently marked "please reap; inadvertent dup" (or words to that effect) from posters who are among the most senior of Monks.

Full Disclosure: Though I am honored by inclusion among devils, I'm not sufficiently skilled to track down a suspected cause and propose a solution.

So deciphering your overly cryptric post, basically what you are saying is that sometimes you click on a submit, preview, vote, etc. button and instead of the expected behavior, "The Monastery Gates" loads instead.

I've been seeing behavior like that for well over a year now (probably a couple). I've just gotten used to hitting Back (bound to one of my thumb mouse buttons). Using IE 7 on Win XP Pro at work here. Good point about it being a possible cause of duplicate posts.

Since I am mentioned in this post, I should add that 'my' duplicate posts were indeed when the site was very slow. The problem could be at my end though. Our corporate server regularly times-out the perlmonks web-site and I have to do a refresh, sometimes more than once. This is when the duplicate posts occur.

never happened to me, but I guess it's because I almost never post.
I'm on Opera @ linux 64bits by the way.
