[Status Update][Status Update]...double vision
I had a new experience today - after crafting a comment on a blog (Happy 10th Anniversary Mentors), I saw the spinny browser tab taking longer than expected, so I quickly did a Ctrl-A+C to make sure I didn't lose my text. When it didn't post I pressed the button again, and was soon presented with a vanilla page containing the following dialog:
I assume I'm not the first one to run into this, but figured I would share the info to avoid any panic attacks from other members attempting to comment on a blog. After refreshing the page I did see my comment, and if nothing else has been accomplished by your time taken here to peruse my status update, I encourage you to check out Jason's blog and share your Mentor memory.
Thanks for the link to the blog. The link is what I clicked the like button for and not the double vision on your update :). It prompted me to thank some Mentors.
Cheers
Robert
But... you can create new discussions here in CC, therefor you can also create our interim status update thingy.
I almost made a Foreigner joke, then I realized I was old enough to make a Foreigner joke, then the joke wasn't funny anymore...
I've never experienced this error myself (and the weird thing is I found a double comment in Q&A the other day...so the poster obviously didn't get the duplicate error...and I wonder if only blogs catch this). I'm always curious when I see these types of messages because as a writer I wonder, "Who wrote that? Why did he choose a semicolon? Why did he go with an exclamation point?"
Yeah. I find punctuation exciting.
Anyway, I'm checking around to see if I can learn more about this particular message...
Oh the irony - here are the top two items in my Notifications feed...thankfully I only received one email notification (so far).
Edited comment: not trying to sound overly 'hot blooded', but I also see that you 'commented' 2x in my Activities feed.
Funny, I have the same kind of duplicated items in my activity stream (by different members)...
Anyway, now I wonder what that almost funny joke was. Am I even too old to remember? :(
I was going to include lyrics from Foreigner's "Double Vision" in my initial response, but considering that the song is from 1978, I thought maybe it would be too obscure.
Then again, I wasn't expecting to get in a "Foreigner discography" competition with Jeremy. :)
Hm, thanks for the pointer, although now I'm somewhat disappointed:
Just two notifications, I'd expected 4.
Who doesn't like Foreigner? I have their 2CD "Juke Box Hero's Best Of" on my MP3 player. ^^
Nice! (Although I kinda feel like you should be listening on 8 track :) )
Had to google "8 track". :D
I never used those, but I'm an 80s child, so... but I enjoy the music nontheless. No matter how old or new, it just has to "click". And I like the "Foreigner" sound every much.
Hm... And now I'm getting duplicate emails (still receiving those for the old account). Seems like a bug. Were there some "improvements" rolled out recently?
Maybe they changed the services with the latest improvements for the user profile?

At the top of the CC list; I got excited thinking this was a story of someone already having stared at the sun directly for too long on this solar eclipse day in the US.
It's back!
Saw this a couple times long ago, possibly even in the Open Beta testing. Just figured it was a result of me hitting the button twice before the first hit registered.
Hi All,
We've identified that it's a vendor issue, and we're in touch with the vendor to address it.
--Audrey
With all the talk here about the duplicate activities (which, as Audrey noted, is an issue that requires a vendor to address), we strayed pretty far from Jeremy's original post about "duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you already said that!"
That is a different issue -- meaning it is not related to the issue that the vendor needs to fix. IT is looking into that "duplicate comment detected" item separately.
Naturally, we'll keep you posted.

are you certain the server is not drunk? (or ate too much cookies)
I got this message today (the yellow on top):
I hate to say this...but I think this happens if someone submits moderator alerts that have been rejected too many times.
I'm hoping it's some kind of glitch in this case. I'll look into it.

Hi Jurgen,
I checked into the blogs system and your account is still active, so I need to get with IT to figure out what's going on there. Can you confirm if you get the same error in Q&A?
Best,
Jamie
I have not seen this error in Q&A.
I also could edit and remove the blog myself, right after this message. I did not really take the message serious.
Weird. I'll look into it anyway so we can prevent future issues. Thanks Jürgen!
I did not really take the message serious.
An inevitable "Lerneffekt" here.
Jürgen, that is a subtle hint that you need to stop alerting content. ;)
