Breeding/Refresh Issue

[SilverDragonTears]

When someone breeds an adopt, they can refresh until they manage to produce an offspring. And then they can keep refreshing and produce as many as they want.

As long as they don't leave the page, they can do this as many times as they want. How can I prevent this?

There was a similar issue with people being able to refresh or click back on the "adopt" page and get multiple adoptables. I think it's on the adopt script or whatever it's called, it's possible you can look at the codes there and figure out how HoF stopped it there.

I've been trying that but I'm either not putting it in the right place or that doesn't work :/

Alright - well, the best of luck, I wouldn't mind knowing the solution to this, I have a very find defined rare/uncommon/common system planned for my site. ;-; something like this could damage anybody's site.

I have donation foxes.... People pay money for these. Think of how I feel :/

[AlexC]

Oh jeez, that's bad - have you had people doing this a lot?

[SilverDragonTears]

I'm not sure if they're doing it or not. But I do know that some people know about it... and if they can figure it out, anyone can :(

[AlexC]

All it takes is for someone to post somewhere even half-heartily, and even the stupid can figure it out. p: good luck, hope someone can figure it out.

Perhaps you could work in a script that disables the refresh button on the breeding page? I know such things exist, though I'm not sure where...

Well as far as I remember, you can play with PHP sessions to prevent users from abusing the 'refresh page' technique.
