This bug has been there for a whole while, but I thought I should report it for once:

when you send a PM you are directly returned to the PM inbox. If you refresh that page (if, sy you just got another PM) it asks you to resend the last POSTed data. If you do, the last sent PM gets resent.

It's quite annoying, and it should work like when you post and refresh, where it neatly refreshes without resending the post.

Is the redirection-notice not working well in PMs or what's the problem?

propably better off to go over to mybb to see a List of fixes etc  , but iv'e noticed this Bug to, its rather annoying, 

This can't be called myBB anymore, I seriously doubt WDZ will ever be updating the version, since he has done so many modifications to it, that it's better to stay with this version than to have to port all mods over to a new one (with all porting problems that may appear).

So, the fastest solution is to ask WDZ to fix it, it's not a big deal of a bug and not a big deal of coding, so I don't see any inconvenience.

see if he'll fix it , but  have to agree,  cant really call it MyBB anymore, , unless  the boards were to change to a different Board an i dont think thats likely to happen, 

I don't know why that bug would exist... the PM send code uses the same header redirect that the rest of the board uses. Nothing should be sent via POST when the inbox is loaded.

I'll do some debugging to see what's up...

Edit: I can't reproduce it in Opera... I have an idea what's causing it though, and I consider it to be a caching-related bug in IE and maybe Mozilla. Let me know if the problem still occurs now.

It only happens in Firefox and Mozilla browsers. It isn't a MyBB problem, although MyBB could correct it.

It's due to when data is posted the url is private.php, which is the same as the folder for the inbox meaning that it will not think the URL is any different.

just out of interest, why shouldnt it be called myBB anymore?
and i get that prob all the time :/ just never realised it was resending the pm ;P *apologises to everyone shes ever PMed*

This happened when I clicked on q. quote

However, clicking again resulted in the correct quote...

Ok, I didn't understand something: it only happens when you get a PM after you sent one?

Because I sent a PM today, didn't get one right after that, and I pressed F5 and nothing happened, no POST data. And I use Firefox.

You probably made a selection like this (maybe by accident):

That's good... it probably means that the bug is fixed.

Can't believe I didn't know that... It's a very good thing, now I'll be able to quote without having to delete what I didn't want to quote
(btw, sorry for the off-topic)

Or maybe it's because I don't save cache? Don't know about browsers.
