| We're finding it a bit hard to
delete multiple instances of new threads when different people have
responded to different instances of the same post. (I know this can happen if the most recent instance is at the bottom of the most recent 15 threads and you haven't seen the 6 xeroxes below in the older posts section - hey- we're all human). However, in general, the rule for multiple instances of the same thread is that replies should go to the first instance only. (That makes it easy for us to delete multiple posts of a new thread without accidently wiping valuable replies). Meanwhile we are really close to a software upgrade which will make all of these multiple post problems go away forever (in internet time anyway). I know I have been talking about such things for ages, but I'm very glad to report that today I actually saw a prototype of the new software. I asked for some changes, so it wil be just a little bit longer yet.... (but we are very close) Ian | |
