Hi-

Anybody have any idea why my last couple of postings have been listed twice in threads-even though I sent them only once?

Thanks

Steve

This is a common problem. Typically what happens is you post a message, and then hit your browser's "reload" button after a while to refresh the threads screen. For some reason this causes a double posting. Instead, just hit the "Show Threads" button on the main forum page again to refresh the threads.

THE MSIE browser DON'T have a SHOW THREADS button..only a REFRESH button....'ZAT da same? If I forget to GO BACK and CLEAR the POSTED MESSAGE, it DOUBLE POSTS everytime!

The "Show Threads" button isn't on your browser, be it Nescape, MSIE, or anything else. It's on the forum page. I would guess that the Refresh button on MSIE is the same as the Reload button on Netscape. Either one will cause a double posting.

Thanks all for your help. I indeed was hitting Reload on my browser (as opposed to hitting the tail on my bowser?). Anyways, it's good to know that you can turn to the Folk community for help and...well...support. Reminds me of one of my favorite New Grass Revival tunes-actually my theme song: "Can't Stop Now"

"...I might be heading for a breakdown, but I can't stop now..."

Remember-senility is a terrible thing to waste.

Cheers! :-)

Wendy Waldman, the writer of "Can't Stop Now" has a new album coming out and "Can't Stop Now" is the lead song - with background vocals by John Cowan.

Wendy Waldman ... I had the pleasure of attending one of her songwriting workshops ... a wonderful woman with a great sense of humour.
