Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Is this thread getting too big for the forum? I see triple postings... Something seems to have gone loose..:hehe:

    I don't think it's The Thread as I've had multiple posts and the quote-a-random-message problem on other threads.

    The multiple posts seem to be a network or response problem. The post gets made, but the refresh times out or the post is delayed in appearing, so a repost is done.

    Not sure what would cause the semi-random quoting since it should just be a simple query to get the right message id.

    You know I am not getting my email alerts/updates this morning either. Something is definitely off.

    Likewise. I've had one notification since about 9am this morning (GMT+2).

    I promise I didn't break anything, I've been offline most of the day. 😀

    I just got 2 in rapid succession (from the last 2 posts here) both times at 3:24pm (GMT) after nothing since 8:50am (GMT)

    P.S. That's true GMT not SSC GMT 🙂

    Arggh! Grant & I have triple posts. The site wasn't responding and I just kept hitting POST... :blush:

    I tried deleting the duplicates, but I don't think that Steve allows us to do that anymore.

    I thought it was just me... and yeah, I can't delete them either. I was getting lots of posts rejected there for a while. Ah well, my post count must be going through the roof, but I'm going to look like a rash on a few threads.

    It was probably me. I break everything once.

    Steve, can you perhaps enable deleting of posts again? I'm guessing you disabled it after the 'Answered Posts' fiasco, but it doesn't prevent a poster going back and editing their response to remove incriminating statements.

    Due to network issues, I sometimes get double posts, or replies going to the wrong thread and it would be nice to delete them.

    That sounds sensible.

    That would be the same as deleting the thread.

    No, not for reply posts.

  • I think I lost all the posts from this morning. That stinks. I wrote a couple of decent ones (for once). Ah well, no joy in Mudville.
