This one for @myLotBugs: Explore / Interesting occasionally throws up almost-duplicates, like the two in the screenshot attached... Only difference I can see are the tags @poehere has applied to one of the duplicates. It has been like that most of the day. Bug or Broken?

@pgntwo What is this about? Is myLotbugs another writing site? Since you commented in my post that you prefer to call period - - full stop - - my comprehension is cascading to mediocrity!

@antonbunot No problem - you don't ask, you don't learn!

MyLotBugs is a user here, an admin, who likes (maybe that is too strong a description?) to be kept apprised of any general operating weirdness experienced by myLot users during the course of normal myLot activities. A Private Message to MyLotBugs would have been less noticeable, but would have meant I could not attach a screenshot showing the problem I was describing... No need for concern!

That happened to me once. I got an error when I tried to publish so I started all over again and it worked the second time. Only problem is there were two of the same so I hastily deleted one of them

I have encountered that too - but the post author had not double-submitted in this case, I had tagged them in just in case. It's a mystery

not sure how the duplication has occurred - hopefully it'll get sorted out alright soon

A glitch, perhaps - I've noticed it a few times now.

It was about some weirdness I noticed, nothing I expect anyone outside of board admin to be interested in... No need to worry, like or otherwise.

You got some very interesting responses on this one, at least, @pgn ! Take the money from them and run! It's free!

Alas, the bank has gone into "go slow" mode recently, several discussions ongoing about it on Weds...

I hadn't checked "Interesting." I'm thinking the site is still a little buggy right now.

A good shot of bug-spray should fix it.

That's weird... Thanks for the heads up. It's been added to the bugs list for a future upgrade.

@pgntwo In 2006 I hardly knew what a computer was! I didn't get one till 2013, and certainly never used one before then. How very odd.

Another on a very long list now, I suspect. I saw a similar thing yesterday, but omitted to capture the discussion or its author. Thank you for adding the weirdness to the list.

@mylotbugs : Here's another gotcha for you, different bug entirely: a post from 2006 that is showing in my @mentions list, when it does not mention me. Oddly, it shows wrongly as being a post by @jabouk, and it shows my location details (not hers or the original author's, and is clearly incorrect on several levels...). The original post is www mylot com/post/258596/does-anyone-really-like-there-job Index corruption somewhere? Image attached --- Oh, and why not allow image uploads to private messages?

@pgntwo I have this happen to me a few times a week. I don't know how many times it happened before I realized it. I was also deleting one of them and then someone told me not to as administration would see it and take care of it.

Me too I don't get this one. Unless you are saying when a person comments you see 2 notification. One with an arrow and the other with an @ sign. The arrow one means I left a comment and the @ sign means I left it for you.

Now I understand. This is in explorer and when you bring it up it shows you interesting. this section is based on your tags. Now if you have a lot of tags on certain things then it displays these for you to read. I complained about this before. You'll need to try and use other tags fro your posts if you want these to change.

@poehere I have not put any tags on your post, but if you examine the picture, you'll see one has a line of tags, the other doesn't.

@pgntwo I am sorry I don't work here for this company. I think this actually isn['t a post but a PM to the staff to help you out. I don't know what to say. If I knew this software better maybe I could help you out. I am only here about a month or so and just picked up a little knowledge from the other members who have been here longer.Maybe you should ry and direct this to owlwing he knows this software and site so well. Send him a PM and ask him for help.

Haven't noticed anything myself.
