Double posts = lost skin comments

This a bug that I have noticed recently. Certain people always leave a double post when they comment. It's just one of those weird things. I have a suspicion that it's a browser issue.

But here is the strange result of the double posting:

Each page of comments is 25 posts long. After that, a new page gets created. Now, if one of those 25 comments are doubled, you loose a comment. You can see this by going to the next page. You'll see that the comment number is off by the same amount of double comments that you have on the previous page.

You may say that WC is just counting the posts as separate even though they have the same comment #, but I know that this isn't the case. Take for example this skin: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=6986&libid=1&p=2 On page 2, you will see that there are 3 instances of double comments. The last comment on the page is #47. Go to page 4 and you'll see that the first comment is #51.

Comment#49 is one that I wrote myself as a test when I saw that #48 was missing. Comment #50 was written by a friend. Page 4 did not get generated until comment #51 was written.

So it looks like WC counts how many actual posts there are per page and when the number is greater than 25, the last ones get omitted.

I'm not sure I've explained my theory so that it's understandable or not

lol doc - i must b in australia then lol

Just hope you didn't bring all that London rain with you, then.

Actually, we could really do with it, being it's bushfire season n' all. Everything is tinderbox dry and some rain would help ease the fire risk. Last I heard, firies are battling 80 something fires in Northern NSW, and around 50-odd in SE Qld.

You wouldn't want 'some' of our heat! The other day it got up to 45c here... most days are in the mid to high 30's. I much prefer our Winters... no ice or snow where I am, but we can get sub-zero temps at times, not that I'm bothered too much by that.

You can always put on more clothing if you're feeling cold, but there's only so much you can take off before indecent exposure charges are laid.

I was in South Africa in 69... didn't enjoy it much. Was in the days of Apartheid and I couldn't hang out with some of my ship mates when we went ashore.

I'm so glad those days are over. I like to think I can befriend a person of any race, colour or creed, wherever I may be. I had a friend who was Italian, born in Italy to an Italian mother, negro father, and he wasn't allowed to travel on the same bus as the rest of us to the beach... and then, when he got there, had to go to another part of the beach.

Anyway, back to this double posting thing! Will it be fixed in the new WC, and when will that come online? Just curious cos I'm one of those who is afflicted with double posting in the comments area.... and I'm tired of repeating myself.
