Not awoke
Some of us are fekin grateful there is a forum in the first place
It's not a performance issue at all. We're hosted in the Rackspace cloud where we have all but unlimited resources to cope with user demand. It's how we've peaked at c3,500 users online concurrently and how we had over 2,600 on last week during the transfer window with the site still zipping along for everyone.
There's clearly a bug in there somewhere. If you Google around the subject it has hit a lot of forums running vBulletin. I'm sure there are solutions out there, but nothing popped out at me when I last looked. I just need a good chunk of time to spend on it - I hope to get that this week. I will get to the bottom of it because it bugs the hell out of me too!
Thanks for the reply , lets hope vBulletin are going to resolve it or suggest a workaround if it is also affecting other forums so must be aware of it.
I'm actually very good at hugs.
That's not good. Are we swearing too much?and deal with Google who have, once again, threatened to pull ads off here.

I've probably put tens of thousands of hours into NSC.
The software is in a mess this morning. Trying to quote people mostly results in a greyed out reply box.
Up until the change a few months ago there were never any problems, now it's all a mess.
The double post issue still occurs , the only difference is both are now appearing in the same post.
Are plugins a big deal of NSC? If not, you could disable the lot to see if that fixes it. If it doesn't re-instate them all, and if it does, reinstate them in bunches to find the cause. Sorry, I'm trying to teach you how to suck eggs here - I guess I'm just surprised how badly the whole forum has been performing for quite a while.I've been deactivating various plugins one by one to see if the removal of any particular one causes the double posts to stop. None have yet.

Well I assure you I'm not exaggerating. There are times when the reply box isn't greyed out, and when it is I click on 'advanced' and it works - bit today it's just not worked at all when I've tried to quote some posts (I've closed NSC, tried quoting a different post (which works), gone back to the first post and it's greyed out. The double post & leave page things are a common problem. My set-up is fairly standard, Win7 with a Firefox browser. I don't get a single issue on any other forum.You're either being very unlucky, have a strange technical setup or are exaggerating. I get very few reports of issues and I am getting absolutely nothing untoward myself, other than the occasional double post.
