Identical thread titles

Even more confusing to read invitations to specific members to join the thread, referring it to 'ours.' What's that about? I don't recognise this side of Gransnet

I think you need to be a bit more explicit.

(there ars quite a lot of threads to wade through)

I'm sorry my Kindle Fire seems intent on saying ars to posters.

IS there anything the rules that outlaws identical thread titles? I don't remember ever seeing such a rule.

By the time I get to the bottom of Actives, I can't remember what the threads at the top are called.

The "ours" is even more difficult. [despairs and wrings hands]

I'm a bit confused as well. I don't think I've seen identical threads....similar but not identical.

There are two "Cut out of their lives 3". Looks like the posters have agreed to let the surplus one die a death.

Dopn't know about the "ours".

Oh it's a "denied contact" thread.

[stows super-sleuth cap, pipe and magnifying glass and takes to well earned bed]

Does it matter!!!!!!

No, it doesn't.

It is irritating, though, when one individual deliberately starts exactly the same thread under two or three different headings. It's quite different when two people have the same idea more or less simultaneously. That's happened a number of times.

No violin then Jings ? Opium maybe, could help

Surely it is obvious that the threads were posted by different people at almost the same time, and when it was realised an effort was made to resolve the problem. Is there really any need for nasty comments? Do some people not recognise a coincidence? FFS!

Ceesnan it is obvious what has happened. Shame that some people are ready to jump in with comments which with hindsight just look silly (at best) or nasty (at worst)

glassortwo had it bang to rights with her question does it matter?

the cut out of their lives2 thread didnt die a death or a third wouldnt have been started...it just wouldnt accept anymore postings as it was up to 1000... so a 3rd was started by myself and another member obviously at the same time...there is no delete button to remove one but it does state on one thread to use the other...

Sorry for the confusion but it was no way intentional!

It's not the first time this has happened accidentally, (Bar thread to name one) and probably won't be the last.

Again - does it really matter in the great scheme of things?

thankyou katgran

Well done Kat of Gransnet.

There have been similar duplications of threads like "in the news" before. Timing is usually the issue here.

Having just had two attempts this morning to reset my GN password and cocking them up I am in no position to criticise.

If anyone else tries, it seems you have to wait a few seconds for the new password to register with GN.

Thanks Kat. Just for the record, my OP wasn't intended to get at anyone or meant as criticism. It was solely for information and to avoid confusion - as I said.
