Double listings
Can anyone tell me why we might be getting double listings for certain of our links when there is only one link in the database? It only happens on certain ones but the items are duplicated for some reason. Thanks in advance.

Most likely it is related to people hitting the submit button twice. I have seen this occur when I have tested hitting the submit button twice.

Thanks for the response, Eliot. I'm curious. Wouldn't hitting the submit button twice actually create two identifical items in the database? For the items we have which display twice there is only one listing for the item and the url link is exactly the same for both. It's very strange...

Well, what I have found is that if people hit the submit button twice, there is duplicate information within the same link id (record), like the following:

1034~~1034
MySite~~MySite

Computers/PC~~Computers~~PC

Is this what you are seeing?

That should be the answer because that happened to me once before. I don't know why it does it on the same line though.
