I have a post showing in the answer box on this thread that I’ve been trying, without success, to post in another thread. I've deleted it and replaced it with this - but where either of my responses end up remains to be seen.
Yes, you do seem plagued, N. I see you’ve posted on the Theland thread we were chatting on (ooooops, not chatting, Ed.....furthering the debate) but I’ll be *** if I can see it!
I answered a crossword question the other day when the gremlins struck. My answer appeared 5 mins after someone else had answered.
Looked like I was copying. Felt a right nana.
spicerack, I shouldn't worry about that if I were you. Some people post duplicate correct answers hours after the original has appeared. I've never understood why.
I think what happens is, people see the post in latest with a name at the side of it. If they then click on the post and see that person is the OP, they assume no one has answered when in fact the OP is just thanking people. Done it meself and felt a bit daft.

same goes for duplicate questions, do they not know how to use the search box?
