Re: Well known phrases and sayings
Are we going with Cenwulf's one then? (I don't mind, even though I want it to be noted that I might have got something right first for once )

Re: Well known phrases and sayings
I should point out that that is very difficult on this system. If someone has already replied to a post, the system should come up with a message saying so, and showing you the intervening message. Are you sure that didn't happen, Cenwulf?Cenwulf wrote:Bunnylump's post wasn't there when I replied to Giraffe. We must haeve simulposted.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

We're just conspiring to blow your system up, Scurra.

Re: Well known phrases and sayings
This 'warning' has been helpful to me in the past - but very often (normal threads) I add or correct what I need to my post and then override the warning.
Good tool though

Re: Well known phrases and sayings
Hmmm - interestingly I was answering Scurra's and I didn't get the warning about Bunny Must be a 'timing' thing.
Re: Well known phrases and sayings
no arguing now the bunny's next

Ah. It's obviously the Bunny who is causing the problems then.
Why am I not surprised?

Re: Well known phrases and sayings
All that happened was that I submitted my post and when it appeared it was at the top of a new page. I wasn't aware of Bunny's post.Scurra wrote:I should point out that that is very difficult on this system.

Perhaps the 'intervening message' facility only works if it detects the previous post - if the posts are submitted very close together it may not notice the simulposting.
