Oh no, Jessica's going to get sent down the chute.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a really ignorant question (I mean, I'm ignorant of how things work...you'll see): Is there something, when it comes to starting a new thread, that's set at 1 that should be set at 0, so that the first post is #1 and not #2? (See what I meant about ignorant? The only thing I can think of is when my document has a cover sheet, but I want the numbering to start on the second page of the document with #1, I have to start the numbering from 0.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe.

Basically, I made a change to eliminate the double post numbers, and that happened, and I haven't been back.

Huh. Clearly, it's not an Issue.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Haven't we still had the occasional double post #? I thought I saw one recently.

Much fewer than before, with increased volume. It's not perfect, and short of switching to a triggered database, I don't think it's worth sweating over.

Might as well get the Issues taken care of first.

I saw a triple the other day, but the times were all different. The first two were a second apart, I think. The third was a few seconds later. I diserember what thread, so this probably isn't helpful in and of itself. Should we still report them? I just accepted this one as a blip. I didn't want to bother anyone with it.

We're talking about two posts with the same post id #, not the same content. Is that what you're referring to?

Yes. It went something like (Made up numbers, but...)

Post #1191
Post #1194
Post #1194
Post #1194
Post #1195

The first two of the triplet were only a second apart, but then the third was a few more seconds behind.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

There was some screwy numbering at the start of the current natter thread (blipverts). Everything was effed with closing out the thread and starting a new one. Anyway, yes, identical post #s at different times.
