Accidental multiple posts... I felt helpless...

Hello fellows, I'll relate an incident. Just happened! I had written a reply to a post about MyLot, and I hit the Post Response button. Nothing happened for 5 to 7 minutes and my cell phone just stood dumb (I'm using my cell phone to surf web; can't goto cyber cafe due to weak health). It doesn't take this long, so I hit refresh button, and after waiting for another couple of minutes, I got back to the same window, where I'd begun to post my response. It upset me greatly because typing over phone isn't a small job. I'm a touch typist when I use regular keyboard, but a phone's keyboard is something different.
So I began again. Wrote a new post with same ideas but different words. This time it went through, but when I viewed the discussion, I found both of my replies in there, one after the other. I'm feeling embarrassed... So I added a note there about it.
I'm not sure if this issue has been raised earlier or not; but would the admin do something about it???
Please share, what options we have got to overcome this little problem??? Thank you....

U are not the first person to face this problem, most of us does as well and it's nothing serious. Though it's reflected on the post, while only the first one would be credited to your earnings. The same goes for the starter too. It's due to mylot's glitch, while at times network plays a part too. I've seen unintentional multiple posts and they are much more than yours. It's all right, nothing to fret over about.

It happens with me also,i dont use a mobile for mylot regularly only when i be away from home then i carry the mobile and try mylotting
When i try posting that happens with me also ,i dont know whether the post is got posted or not,I make a check again and again to see whether if it got posted ,then i dont try posting again.
However several times i have to type,but what i type for the first time will be different from the second and then like that it goes on the second is different form the third and so on the length of the discussion when i started will becomes decreasing because i loose off my patience for typing again and again.
And mobile typing is really tough job ,i know how hard it is.

Of course it wasn't your mistake... It was the technical glitch or the network issue... Let us forget that... yes, Admin of myLot is the best ever. They are so efficient with their work. That is one of the reasons, why I have stayed with myLot...

It was an honest mistake. Write Admin and have them delete one of the responses. I have done this. I answered the same post Twice,I had responded many months earlier. Once I found out , I wrote My Lot and told them to delete my second response and with in a day , it was done. My rating didn't change , not harm was done! So write My Lot . And don't worry , this type of thing happens.

After reading the first post here, I went back to the dupe one and clicled on '!', so I think it must have been reported.
Thanks for sharing... You know I'm glad it'd not change anything. I was just worried about that. Your reply is quite soothing... Thank you!!!
