Subject: adding to a thread - problem From: Philip Hudson Date: 13 Jun 98 - 01:31 AM Sometimes when I add to a thread and then look at it again there are three or more identical messages from me on the thread. I do not do this intentionally. Someone said not to pick the RELOAD icon, but I don't and never have. Help me before I make someone angry at me and make muself feel more a dunce than I want to feel. _ Philip Hudson |
Subject: RE: adding to a thread - problem From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Jun 98 - 03:18 AM Hi, Philip - I've noticed that you're just about ready to win the prize for multiple-posting. I've deleted your duplicates when I've found them, but I'm sure I missed a few. I'm wondering if maybe you double-click the "Submit Message" button when you're posting, or if you use your "back" button on your browser a lot. I guess all I can suggest is that you fool around and try to figure out what it might be. It's no big deal - the duplicate messages can be deleted. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: adding to a thread - problem From: Will Date: 14 Jun 98 - 10:53 PM It happens to me most often when I hit the "Submit message" button twice (or more) because the submission seems slow and I wonder (despite knowing better) whether it worked the first time. |
Subject: RE: adding to a thread - problem From: Anne Date: 15 Jun 98 - 12:57 AM How do you get the stanzas to break at the end of a line? When typing in lyrics I type them correctly, but then when I view my posting, they're long run on sentences. Help? |
Subject: RE: adding to a thread - problem From: Joe Offer Date: 15 Jun 98 - 02:09 AM Hi, Anne - the forum is set up so we have to use HTML codes, which lets us do some fancy tricks if we'd like. To set off the ends of lines - the code is < br > - that's all, just BR enclosed in angle brackets, with no spaces within the brackets. Here is a thread that will give you all sorts of good information about posting. The line breaks are the first thing to learn, though. I type lyrics in a word processor, and then use search-and-replace to insert the < br > marks wherever there was a paragraph mark in the text. some people end paragraphs with < p > which makes a double space. I wish they wouldn't, because some of us can't transfer those paragraph breaks over when we copy to save lyrics, and all the stanzas run together. Better to us two < br > marks instead. I fixed your lyrics in the Kennedy thread, Anne - nice song. -Joe Offer- |
