The reason why "noobs" don't see the big red box before double posting

Krazyman50 · Before February 2015

The "Post a reply" button at the top-right. You can post a reply or quote someone without seeing the red.

:O
Lame. That's not supposed to happen. *cracks open Firebug*

Edit:
Well, that was fast. Here's the first part of the problem. In "viewtopic.php" (the page you're on right now), which is where the Double Post caution does work, here's the HTML output:

jakery
Today 00:10:50
199911

"latestReplyUsername" is "jakery", so the Double Post caution will trigger properly if I try to post a second time.

In "post.php" (the "post reply" page), where it doesn't work, the HTML output is empty.

Never

"latestReplyUsername" is completely empty, so the Double Post caution won't trigger. Fail.

Now, to figure out why the fields aren't getting populated on post.php.... I don't know why, but we can rule out Javascript as the cause. It's definitely a PHP/Server-Side issue. When I know moar, so will you.

I think some do, thought the reply pages the same jake.

But I use Quick post.

He said "or quote someone" for a reason.

And yes, people do press "post reply". It's useful in some cases.

I understood that(or at least part of it).

Just a bit I was a bit unsure about, but I understood most of it.
