I guess you’re right, @pjd. Thanks again.
What’s weird about that is that it seems to encourage people to bump their own threads, or use a thread as something like a blog rather than a discussion. Both are things I don’t think mods want folks doing here.
I expect that as long as the discussion is on track it’s ok…
As soon as it starts to get bloggy or unnecessarily bumptious the mods
will invoke the relevant existing rules.
I think my Karen Carpenter thread ran up against this limit. Fortunately, the OP had a natural splitting point, so was able to cut it in two with little difficulty:
Don’t want to start a whole new thread about this, and maybe it fits here, sort of:
Grumble, grumf. I just made a post, realized almost instantly it was in the wrong thread, and edited it by cutting the content onto my clipboard and replacing it with “nm, wrong thread.” So far, so good.
I then went to the right thread, hit reply, pasted the content removed from the wrong thread into the reply box, and tried to post it there. Discus refused, on the grounds that it was too similar to what I’d just posted elsewhere.
I suppose this is meant to prevent people from copypastaing the same thing into dozens of threads. But it just prevented me from doing something entirely reasonable.
I wonder if it’ll work if I try again a while later?
I bet it will or maybe a couple of different posts in the interim
I did eventually try a while later and it did go through.
