Forum Error (or feature)?

[Slynky]

It seems posting a message to a thread that is completely identical to another message already in the thread results in a "cannot proceed...message already exists" sort of error. In my Last post to the "Ratings" thread, it gave me that error but adding 3 dots after the Last word allowed me to post.

???

It is a feature... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif

That sounds like it's designed to prevent double Posts.

Why would anyone deliberately post an identical message?

Well, it's happened before accidently.

Bump Messages. Ratings system updates that happen to contain the same info.

Well, at least I'm not losing my head!

Thanks for the answer.
