What, no one did this one yet? ![](https://media.tenor.com/wiDtdCLJc4oAAAAC/shut-it.gif) -snickers- But anyway, dammit for sleeping through the popcorn worthy event! And I join the mini-pitting for @Smapti (didn’t we just have this happen a week ago?) and a gentle finger waving at @What_Exit although I’ve done far more bone-headed things IRL. So don’t give yourselves a hard time. ---

2 flagged it fast and @Aspenglow closed it quick. I did a quick check and it was an obvious sock or at least pretending to be sock. ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > ndeed, for no reason I can fathom, there is a select all option when you’re selecting posts. I use that for merging threads. It’s pretty common to get two essentially identical breaking news threads. I like that button, would be very unhappy if it weren’t there. ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > Well that sucked, I clicked one wrong button maybe and somehow moved the entire thread to the cornfield. Then I had to move it back. Ah. That might explain why this morning discourse claimed that I had over four thousand unread posts in this thread, and inserted me somewhere around post #7. I was going to say I didn’t get any notifications, but what I apparently didn’t get was any notification that I had new notifications. When I looked at my notifications anyway, there are two of them in there about this thread moving. I appear to have missed the troll entirely. Fine by me! ---

There’s a way of posting the URL without it making a link, but I don’t recall what it is - maybe using the " **`**" key or backslash key or something. Does anyone remember? ---
