h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

sunny (U175291) just subscribed to F19585?thread=276199. Now the thread shows up four times in her subscription list. (It didn't help to make a new post to the thread)

So it does How odd

I checked out the MP lists of others in the thread, and even subscribed myself to see if I could replicate it. Nothing doing, only one subscription each for the rest of us

Yeah, I did the same. And tried other browsers etc.

Hmm, I tried quadruple clicking the subscribe button, but it only subscribed once for me.

How very odd..

Well, could be much worse..







but do you think something like this would entitle me to a h2 t-shirt???

*rolls eyes*

You could always ask Jim nicely

You can ask him as nicely as you like, Abi and I hold the Keys of Goodies, and we don't let go for *anyone*.

So, does anyone have an explanation for this phenomenom, to help me report it?

It's a freak of nature, that's the only explanation...

I don't know what happened there.

All I can say is that the problem must come in before the XML is generated, as this happens in all skins.

She could of course try to un- and resubscribe, but that's taking the fun out of it, isn't it?

I don't know that that would necessarily take the fun out of it. It might be interesting to find out whether unsubscribing one removed the others too. Or whether it was even possible to unsubscribe...

Has she tried to add more at all?

Unsubscribing will almost certainly remove all the entries. It should be almost impossible to do this in the first place, but not totally impossible, obviously.

You almost make it sound like you think she wanted to do it.

I suppose the next trick is to repeatedly add articles (for all those people on other threads who are determined to count them in some sort of point scoring system).

Oh no...

yep. until I score enough to get a h2 t-shirt for it

Hmmmm... seems that I've found a way to get subscribed to the same thread twice (but not four times!)

Look at the thread at <./>MP180839</.>

I found a way too. You subscribe, then reply

I did it once

Should that really be all? Well, *that* doesn't work for me - I just tried.

Hmmm, worked for me once

How did you do it?
