mguerra Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 Sometimes when I create a reply to a post, a notification box pops up saying something to the effect: "Someone has already replied, you sure you want to?" For crying out loud, GET RID OF THAT!!!! Of course we want to reply, that's the whole point of a forum...
jdbower Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 Re: Annoying Feature I believe the feature is there to warn you that someone replied to the thread while you were typing out your own reply, it gives you a chance to read the thread at the bottom of the edit page to see if someone's already posted your response. On some really active forums I see a lot of nearly identical posts within minutes or seconds of each other - this feature can prevent that.
mguerra Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Posted April 16, 2011 Re: Annoying Feature If two people post similar replies in rapid succession, I don't see that as a problem... that requires a "warning". Seems like a solution in search of a problem. Let's don't turn this in to the over-regulated Primo forum.
Conodo12 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 Re: Annoying Feature that requires a "warning" Call me crazy (and many people do) but isn't a "warning" much more harsh than a friendly note advising you that someone posted a reply, while you were typing yours, and maybe you should check out that post in lieu of being redundant? See?!? We're not Primo here - just friendly advisory guys/gals!

DennisLinkletter Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 Re: Annoying Feature I've never seen this message.. And can't find it in the Admin. but I have posted rather lengthy replies only to later see that someone else answered before me and said the same thing.. in hindsight it looked lame, like I read what they said and parroted it.. Wish I would have seen the notice that day.. I did go back and edit the redundancy out of my post..
