Warning that there has been further replies to a topic you're replying to.

Post by Kwackman »

Hi,
When you pressed "submit" to post a reply to a topic, there used to be a warning that someone else had replied to the topic since you started your reply. A couple of times recently this hasn't worked. The first time I thought it was just me not paying attention, but it's just happened again and there had been 2 replies posted in the time i took me to compose my masterpiece.
Although the recent ability to delete your posts solves this issue!

Well, I for one didn't like the feature anyway Kwacks'!

I am twitchy enough when posting into forums, had my magnum opus lost to the ether more than a few times!

ANYTHING that disrupts my normal flow causes me grief and anxiety.

If it's gorn, keep it gorn..

Don't think it's 'gorn'. I've had the warning several times today...

Me too, at least once. I like it, it can save unnecessary embarrassment.

Still mourning the loss of my 'Jedi Poster" status :)

People often mistake me for a grown-up because of my age.

It's probably all down to timing and cookies. Or maybe hobnobs.

Reliably fallible.

Yep, it's definitely still there, as I've also had it pop up several times in the last couple of days (no sniggering at the back Molesworth!)

I see it as a useful function, since it neatly avoids your post looking redundant if someone has beaten you to a reply ;)
