Sure as I am that this image of yours isn't doctored ( ) - I noticed this too... just when the "latest 20 posts" list was added, incidentally... and it wasn't just my posts that were being doubled up in the list.

It appears to have been fixed since.

So n'yah!

That IS weird, I see it too... only Bard so far... and only one post when I go to the thread...

Priority = Medium for sheer curiousity value.

the site was running UBB back then, Con... it's vBulletin now- that's gotta count for something.

I don't think my post count is going up by 2 each time, - it's just that I (and Monty - The One and Only) get mentioned twice on the "most recent 20 posts" list every time I post.

Weird out, man :eek:

You have exactly 2 posts in each (at the moment)
Might be worth checking if this happens where you've only posted once or what happens when you post three times to a thread

i.e. if I'm right then previous posts in a thead are being stamped with the time of the most recent

Prob wrong but test it and see

Do you guys know what's causing this yet?

It's dead weird - and it only seems to affect myself and Monty.

If you can sort it out, I'd like that.

Cheers lads,

Me wonders if it's something to do with Opera. Perhaps the JavaScript that runs on the onSubmit method of the form is doing something in Opera that it shouldn't.
Just a guess.
What version of Opera are you using Bard?

I just tried to post with Opera v 5.02 and I couldn't...
worth taking a look at.

I think I've found it...

hovering over the *names* on the top 20, it's showing that one post was made by user 3978 ("Bârd" - not me) and the second post was made by user 1172 ("Bard" ... me ).

I suggest deleting the "Bârd" username (no. 3978), which was created by Dead{o}Santa to demonstrate a point about usernames back in August (in this thread).

Cheers,

Anyone with an ounce of culture (..or access to google) knows that the quote is suppose to be "Dead for a ducat, dead!"

not only has it made dev appear more intellectual with many big words (eg. marmalade) but has also given him the power to quoteth the man billy himself.
