Vanity: Multiple Thread Repostings

Glad you brought FR back up. However, a really annoying quirk surfaced about a full week before the site went down, and persists now.

It appears as if every thread is re-posted as a new thread, as many times as the number of replies to it. This makes it very difficult to scan the site quickly for breaking news.

The multiple threads ("hiccups") are not affected by my Account settings, Page Layout, or anything else under local control here.

If this is an experiment in "Bumping to the Top," please revert back to the normal method of posting new threads & their comments.

Please fix this; it's maddening.

I'm surprised that no other FReeper has complained about this in > two weeks.

Thank you.

Sounds like you have your tab set on Comments instead of Activity. Look at the tabs right below Woo Hoo!!

I think that no one else has complained, because no one else is experiencing that problem.

Of course, none of the rest of us are logged in.

Are you sure you don’t have the “Comments” tab active instead of the “Articles” tab?

Sounds like you may have the Articles/Comments tab set on comments. Try going to the main articles page and clicking on “Articles.”

I had this happen the other day, too.

Look at the three buttons just above the “Next Page” or “Most Recent” link (below the fundraiser progress bar).

Make sure to click the “Articles” button, instead of “Comments”.

But if they do that, how will we all ask if you are logged on?

Happened to me once and I had to find the solution, so that is how I knew what it was.

Yeah. I tried to sell it to Hillary, but she said that she already had it.
