Duplicate images in same post |

Why can't LAH's duplicate-image finder capability be extended to checking for the same file posted twice in a user's submission?

Please explain what exactly you mean.
The current duplicate finder uses file hashes to find duplicates, so only perfectly identical files get detected.

As you can see below, I was able to post the same file twice in the same post. I would think that you would want to check for this and warn the poster when this occurs. There have been several instances of this occurring in real posts, where the user has inadvertently posted the same picture twice. I even did it myself recently! (I noticed it the next day and replaced the duplicate with another file.)

That´s because the it checks the images you post against images already posted, not images in the same post....

And I am proposing that it SHOULD check against images in the same post, so as to avoid needless duplication.

Because your files do not actually get uploaded until you finish posting, this is not possible as it would require a complete redesign of the posting and checking system. We cannot check the files on your computer from our side.
If you see a duplicate like that, don't hesitate to push the yellow button.
Please excuse any inconvenience this has caused.

Maybe there is a confusion in terminology here. When I say "uploaded", I mean "transferred from my PC to your site." This is obviously happening when I click "Add attachment", at which time the candidate file is sent to your site to be checked against existing images for duplicates. And after it has been determined to not already exist, you must be storing it someplace. Why do I make this claim? Because, when I click "Submit" and then "Click here to view your message", the attached files appear immediately in the new message. I know you can't possibly be waiting until I click "Submit" to transfer them to LAH, because I have a VERY slow internet connection, and I would definitely notice the delay if the site did as you claim.

You're correct. I will look into it.
