When you use the random signature option and resubmit something after a submit delay, it sometimes often gets added as another post. Is there a way to identify a post without using the signature?
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him, the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable an ignorable war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." - Albert Einstein

I think you'd have to ask Chris, as that's a decision made on the server...

As Joergen said, the dup detection is done server-side, so there's not a lot i can do...
...But, i can avoid rotating the signature once a post's been submitted. Which ought to allow the dup detection to work properly, provided you don't actually edit the post.
IMHO, the proper way to do this would be to associate a GUID with each new post, thereby turning duplicate submissions into a single submission followed by one or more modifications. This would also have the advantage of making it much, much easier for the client to determine whether the post had actually been posted; the sad fact is, right now i can often submit a post, wait a while, then refresh the thread and see the new post added - all before the original request completes. I've been toying with ways to do this all client-side, but i really don't think it's possible. Frustrating.

Yeah, on occasion, doing a refresh is a lot faster than submitting, and on others it's just as slow. So a GUID solution might be better.

I don't think I particularly like the ads and sections on the right hand side. 
Is there a way to configure it the way I want it?

No. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... CodeProject with CPhog... 
In short, we're goofing off. We don't care that others might not like the navbar over there or that it has a class of "LHNavBar" for a reason. 
(In all seriousness, once again, this is an area where we need a way to edit settings. I'd love to make this a user pref...but there's no UI to let you change it. Unfortunately, there aren't enough hours in the day. You want to try your hand at some JS hacking?  )

I think I'll need some kind of illegal substance to conjure up some energy just to open an editor right now. This week has been very busy.

Well, I think you do.

It bugged me for about a day, but now I don't even notice the bar way over there.
|
|
|
|
|
It's great, isn't it? I only look over there for the forum watch now.
|
|
|
|

Well, I mean it bugged me that the bar was in a different place than before. The contents of the bar never bugged me. (I block ads so I never see them anyway.)

Thanks for the recommendation. I have been meaning to install that for a while now.

When you click on a username, you get the preview on the left-hand side. How about you add our own info under the forum watch list and every time a username, you replace it with that person's info?

I dunno. The mini-profile thing is kinda nice...but (1) it's a huge load on the server (according to Chris) and (2) it's not really sanctioned right now...so we haven't actively developed it. I don't like the idea of replacing content over in the left hand nav bar though.

Personally, i hate the left side margin. I'd much prefer it was on the right. That said, if i ever got the energy to actually move it, i'd probably make it fixed as well (ad + forum watches + whatever).
But i don't care to move the mini-bio any further; personally, i liked it best in the post... but failing that, i should really come up with some sort of positioning algorithm that keeps it near the user's post but more or less out of the way... the current position is just laziness.

You mean you want the entirety of the left hand bar over on the right? Wow. I'm trying to think about what that would look like...

It's easier to just swap the columns and look at the result. Here's a hint: it looks goood...
