Post review

HaMeR · January 06, 2011, 09:40:32 AM

Twice this AM I hit the post tab & each time hte message came up asking if I wanted to review my post because another post had been made while I was typing my post. But I couldn't find any posts that I hadn't already read. I tried the Show Unread Posts tab & it came up blank. Kinda like me right now.

Maybe it's a timing issue of some sort?

That IZ odd

I'm wondering if someone was replying and then changed their mind.
No because it wouldn't be considered a new reply until they actually replied.

Wierd. Let me know if it keeps doing it...or if anyone else has it happen.

OK. It didn't do it on the spy board you have setup right now. But then again I was the only one over there.

The same thing happened to me I think it was day before yesterday. I had clicked back onto the forum part way through composing or more likely during my preview, and then back to my post (can't remember the exact sequence). I assumed the alert that someone else had posted was triggered by my own new post.

Your both throwing me for a loop

Your first attempt at posting shouldnt have done it Clyde, cause you didnt really post it.

Once in awhile, electrons do strange things, almost as strange as humans.

I had noticed it once before do this but I didn't put much thought into it. At the time it was an evening with several people on board & I could have missed a post. It was purdy quiet this AM when I had the "glitch". I'm sure it's nothing but it did seem strange to me. Out of all the boards I go to this one & 3 others are the best maintained boards on the net for me.

While I am not sure, it might be the ghost of Christmas past.

Edit: or maybe the ghost of Christmas present.

I think that has happened to me before too. But I was able to post and didn' t think much of it.

FinsnFur · January 06, 2011, 07:13:42 PM

Maybe were haunted

KySongDog · January 06, 2011, 07:26:04 PM

Or maybe I don't remember what I think I remember.

Just did it again. I posted at 10:08 in the Members Forum & the nearest post was 10:02 in the Mod Forum by me. According to the Last Post column on the Forums page.

Maybe it was Al?

He came in posted

Then realized his mistake & deleted his post before Semp had a chance to quote it & so there wasn't any post after all when you posted yours, but being that he, Al, had posted the system was correct in saying that someone had actually posted, although you wouldn't have had anything to see because it was deleted, er sumpin like dat?

KySongDog · January 07, 2011, 01:23:08 PM

Don't drag me in to Al's problems.

FinsnFur · January 07, 2011, 02:10:39 PM

I seen it when I just made my last post. It told me there were two new messages since I started mine, and I posted anyway....and it was right, there were two two messages ahead of me.

HaMeR · January 07, 2011, 03:14:49 PM

That never happens you know. How many times do you take the car to the mechanic & it NEVER makes the noise you're complaining about.

KySongDog · January 08, 2011, 07:26:19 PM

I just noticed that you don't have to go through the "answer the email" routine when you change your profile. That's neat.

FinsnFur · January 08, 2011, 07:37:46 PM

Only if you change your email address. And thats to make sure you change it to a legitimate one.

Some people use a real email to join, knowing that the system will mail them login info. But then they log in and change it to a bogus address so that they cannot be recognized.
Trouble makers, and that helps reduce them.

In the Predator hunting forum, what happened to the info stickies that used to be at the top of the page?

FinsnFur · January 11, 2011, 08:53:18 PM

I've actually got that saved here so that when this software goes live I can add the toys back in that allowed me to create THAT, the Bow Hunt Contest banner, the Maps, etc.

I could paste it into a thread for now and lock it in the Predator Hunting forum....if thats something that people would like for now, or as an alternative.
