Yup, you've pointed last night I posted three times on "which cartridge" yet it only show one post by me. I've just posted another one on the same thread, mainly as a tester, which seems to be alright. These blips have only been consistant since the forum was rejigged. Also, I've checked my end to make sure I wasn't double clicking to duplicate a post. Then the thought crossed me that maybe the mouse was faulty - that's not been changed. Something's afoot...

No, I am now seeing four almost identical posts by you on that same thread, so I am about to delete three of them. And nothing's 'afoot', exciting though a conspiracy theory might seem: it really does now appear to be a glitch at your end...

The word 'conspiracy' hasn't entered my mind-set. I'm just trying to alert you that there maybe a potential problem. Are these almost identical posts actually shown on the forum? - or has anyone else see them or just the one?

I saw them too - Andrew beat me to deleting the duplicates. Smile

We'll certainly feed all this back to the tech team tomorrow, and apologies again for the problems as the spam filter beds in.

Sorry, I was just teasing...

Yes, all four were visible, in three different browsers and two different devices, and whether I was signed in as an admin or a regular user, or not signed in at all. That was why I suggested the problem may be at your end.

I vote for this thread as being the best argument yet for a PM system! Wink

Don't see why: we do have a contact email address, after all. And IME PM facilities are more trouble than they're worth.

PP, do you ever clear all of your old cookies and cache, history, temp files etc?

If not, try posting after you have deleted that lot and see if there is a diffference.

Sorry, Cheb, this is "planet Zog" speak to me. Crikey, I have trouble with joined up writing... Wink

((Creases brow)) sorry my posts are duplicating again. Changed the mouse last night and no difference.

Duplicating again. Gawd this is getting frustrating again.

I'm a real numbskull when it comes to computers. However, I've looked up the definition of browser and from the examples they've given I'm using iGoogle and MSN UK. Does that make sense?

Or for a visual cue, does it look like this:

Internet Explorer Logo

 

Or maybe this:

Firefox logo

 

Or this:

Safari logo

Definitely the first one. Then MSN covers the desktop...

I'm so, so, sorry I can't tell you anymore.

No, doesn't help matters. If Max asks a simple question I expect a helpful reply, especially with computers.
