Accidental Double Posting
« on: April 01, 2011, 03:20:54 PM »
I'm not sure how this works, since the posts should've merged... but yeah. Here's what happened:

I was trying to post in http://animorphsforum.com/index.php?topic=6319.msg594655#new and had to refresh the "Post a Reply" page (internet was lagging). When I did that, the post I'd just made showed up underneath where you type your reply. So I assumed it had posted. It wasn't showing up in the topic. I tried posting it again, and this time both my first attempt and my second showed up, as two separate posts (i.e. they didn't merge like it would normally do if I double posted.)

I deleted one of them already, but I thought this was... bizarre.

Where do I say it is? :P

I'm just pointing out that the post merge thing is acting wonky. Also... what I described in the first post shouldn't be happening. O.o

I was just wondering, Kayla is just posting with such passion (!!!) that I was thinking maybe it's a bigger deal than I was thinking?
