Thanks. I didn't know that. I was worried that my recent migration to Win7 might have screwed me up, somehow.berkeman said:That's because deleting threads is something Mentors do. It's about the only fun we have here, so there will be no Delete button for regular users. So there.
(You get to use the Report button as your Delete button)

Duplicate posts are typically caused by technical errors, such as a glitch in the system or internet connectivity issues. They can also be the result of user error, such as accidentally hitting the submit button multiple times.
In most cases, duplicate posts are harmless. However, they can be annoying or confusing for other users and may clutter up the website or database. In some cases, duplicate posts can also be seen as spam.
To prevent duplicate posts, it is important to double check before submitting a post and to ensure that there are no technical issues. Additionally, website developers can implement measures such as limiting the number of submissions from a single user within a certain time frame.
If you accidentally post something twice, the best course of action is to delete one of the duplicate posts. This will help to prevent confusion and clutter on the website or database. If you are unable to delete the post, you can reach out to the website administrator for assistance.
Yes, the website administrator has the ability to remove duplicate posts. They can also implement measures to prevent duplicate posts from occurring in the future. However, it is important for users to also take responsibility and be mindful of their posts to help prevent duplicates.
