-The "My Forums" index posts doubles/triples/quads/etc of the same post - only one link is sufficient.
-In the same index, the "new posts" indicator doesn't work for me. It randomly displays status.
-When typing a post, if I try to add/correct text in an earlier part of the document, it will automaticaly overwrite. Very annoying!


Any ideas what's going on?
 
Went to My Forums. Nothing on the page shows duplicate post listings for me. I don't see anything at all labeled "new posts". IE6 Win XP home.

The overwriting thing happens to me also intermittently. Very annoying but I don't know what causes it .

1) This is not a link to your posts, but to the thread you participated in. If you posted twice to a thread, that thread will be listed twice. That's not really a bug, just a method of implementation. I sometimes think it would just be best to consolidate them into a single listing, but that's just a preference.

2) I've never really used or noticed that "New post" indicator, I just check the time-stamp when the thread was last updated.

3) Never run into that.
 
Thanks MM re #3.

#1 is a problem if you engage in a lengthy thread, where you say have ten replys, because every other thread you have listed gets dumped into the archives. I don't see the advantage of listing the same thread ten times, all links going to exactly the same spot, and eliminating everything else.

#2 appears if you pass your mouse icon over the envelope icon. Helpful to see if anyone has replied to a post since you last checked - if it worked!
