Double postings and threads

I grovel at the feet of the lovely MNHQ and I worship the hunky techs.

I realise that a lot of the double postings occur when posters are using their phones and assume MNHQ is on the case to try and solve this.

Is this the same reason that some threads are posted twice? I find it a bit annoying (but assume it's not the poster's fault) and a bit confusing. Different people reply on the duplicated threads.

Do you have the facility (or can you create it if needs be) to merge duplicated threads into one thread? If so, how would we draw your attention to these? Report the OP in both?

I humbly await your reply.

Hello HopeEternal and allthefires. Erm, no we don't have the facility to merge duplicated threads at the moment, so your best bet is to report any duplicated threads to us (as you did allthefires) and we will delete - hopefully before there are too many posts on them.

In previous cases, where we've heard about the duplicated threads a little too late, we have posted on the threads we're about to delete and asked everyone to C&P their posts onto the thread that's going to stay.

But we will let the Tech team know that duplicating is an increasing problem for you all - and see if there's anything whizzy they can think of that might help.

Hi all,
Tech are currently working on a fix for this, we will post again when they have managed to have a proper look.

Best
