Can FR initiate a filter that would spot when someone is about to post something with a link to the same URL of the article that someone else may have posted, and then they would get an 'error' message that this article has already been posted? Might be an idea. Might be problems with that approach, though.

Part of the trouble is, I have found, that often two different newspapers will run the exact same article under different titles.

I'm trying to find a link to yesterday's Ari Fletcher Press Conference, where I understand Helen Thomas got slapped around a little. My searching has failed. Can anyone help me?

Let me add to my previous post - I'm trying to find a link a FR thread relating to yesterday's Ari Fletcher Press Conference, where I understand Helen Thomas got slapped around a little. My searching has failed. Can anyone help me?

What about if something was posted at 1:30 in the morning, and that afternoon you'd like people to see it. Is it okay to repost?

I think this or the breaking news announcement from last night needs to go up on the top of the section before tonight, because people havent seen the message from last night.

Do a search for the article. If you find it, bump it.

I ALWAYS do a search, but lately the same article posted earlier does NOT show up on the search, twice when both had the same title. Don't know why.

In the past it was possible to search not only on words in the article title, but also on the author's name. Many articles of interest are published in more than one newspaper or other media. Unfortunately, titles to articles may differ from forum to forum. However, the author's name is a constant. When that was still a possibility on Free Republic, I found it to be the most reliable way to be sure an article was not previously posted. Why isn't it possible to restore that capability?
To: wimpycat
Yes, that is a problem, expecially AP. We do the best we can, and we appreciate everyone's help with the heads up. Thanks.

Maybe if you spelled Ari's name right you might have better success. FLEISCHER.

I heard right here on FR, it was the tourist guy who wrote it.

We generally let duplicates go if they are 5-6 hours apart or more, but it is considered old news by then, and will be removed from breaking news.

BUMP.
As an aside, these incessant Elizabeth Smart/Laci Peterson/other true crime threads are going to drive me to drink.
