Bug/Site Problem: Confirm Form Resubmission

[IamPuma]

Okay so when I'm browsing on a category, I seem to be getting this message everytime when I click back:

Confirm Form Resubmission​

This webpage requires data that you entered earlier in order to be properly displayed. You can send this data again, but by doing so you will repeat any action this page previously performed.

• Press the reload button to resubmit the data needed to load the page.

Is this normal or Is it just only me?

Just means hit refresh /f5.

It's fairly common when you try to go back to something that may have changed. I've never experienced it here or on the main site though, but I also don't do much browsing.

its super common for me, i think the site has the search fields setup as an input form still, but there is no issue with clicking yes, as its basically only reentering what is in the search and page bars

It’s a browser feature; it’s basically there to let you know that you’re about to resend form data. On pages like online shopping sites resending a form might double charge you or put an item in your shopping cart multiple times.

For a search form it’s perfectly fine to just keep going. If you get that message when posting a comment it’s a good idea to open the submission again in a separate tab to check if your comment got posted so you’re not sending it twice.

Oh okay but I didn't have that before, when I click a Submission then press the back button there used to be no white page giving me that error, It used to go back to the page just fine

Does it happen when u click on someone's submission then hit the back button to browse? Because I get that a lot recently but not from before

I forgot to mention when I click on a submission then when I decide to click back button to the browse page, this message appears but not when I'm already on the browse page pressing the next pages

It could have been an update to your browser in that case.

Oh, I use Chrome, I don't recall seeing doing an update

Looks like the issue went away after I closed my Chrome browser.
