Max, Does the "Create new Thread" link actually create the thread right then and there, or do you have a chance to bail out if the search says there's already been a thread on that subject? Over the last year, we've been having quite a number of duplicate thread creations, and that never used to happen. It used to be that we'd almost never get duplicate thread creations, even though we've always gotten duplicate messages. Seems to me something changed in the thread creation process that made it more likely for us to have duplicate threads. Also, it used to be that I could delete all the messages in a thread and it would disappear from the Forum Menu. Now, the empty duplicate thread stays on the menu, even though I've deleted or moved all the messages.

Aw, Susan, I'm just teasing. You should be used to my weird Midwestern brand of humor by now. But if you were less honest about it, nobody would ever know there was a delay. Did you ever hear Bill Gates admit that something was delayed?
