    Default ddforums question

    Just curious, but I notice that there is a thread listed in the "latest posts" twice in a row and DD's name is listed for each one, but in only one is his name displayed in red. Any idea why this is or what it signifies or why latest posts lists the same post twice in a row?

    Here is the thread: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=58369

    Hmm... not sure. At the moment, the stats don't show that for me. Sometimes weird things happen due to a bug in the software. It shouldn't mean anything, I don't think. If you see it again, let us know.

    I've been seeing this too thought my comp was acting up as it has in the past. The red is the hover state i think.

    See attached screenshot, there are two duplicating threads there. I can provide further data from the generated source if needed. I'm on a mac 10.5.8 FF 3.6.11

    That screen shot sucks trying to enlarge....

    How this one?
    [EDIT: See next post]

    "ddimagetooltip" and "open/close icon"

    Attached the larger screen capture in this post. (Compressed slightly.)

    The double post is up again. So far it seems to only be the case when dd posts.

    Very strange. It must be something about his administrator account registering differently than the rest of us. I'm guessing it's a bug in vbulletin.

    I've been noticing it too. I think the red is supposed to mean that the person making the post is a mod. With ddadmin though, he has moderator privileges and is also an (in this case, the) administrator.

    This only started happening a little while back, perhaps with an update to the board's software and/or perhaps to something ddadmin did with his User CP.
