It appears as though when a moderator locks a thread if someone is composing a post that post will still get posted. Either that or I had some uncanny timing just now

The answer was: spaces. The contribution must've either removed or added superfluous spaces. Removing them is fine, of course, adding them... not so much. Judging from the fact that I can't find any superfluous spaces in the current entries (and even when I retype the role names exactly as they are and try to re-contribute, the system doesn't detect differences), it seems more likely that the new contribution was adding some spaces that shouldn't be there.

That is your OPINION, it is NOT a statement of FACT. Stop pretending to be the God iof the database. You aren't even close. I know why you believe this to be true, but it is not.

I think T!M may be right. I notice that the spacing, and changing or correcting them, can make a difference in what I see on screen but when contributing I do not see the difference.

I had that happen to me once.  I PMed Ken and asked him to remove my post.

Skip, since you seem to be the only one to know what you changed, why don't you just tell us?

This guessing and assuming while there is someone out there to know the answer is making me sick.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Going by the post in the other thread (his very first post in the other thread)... he has no idea either. Apparently he did not change anything in those top listings for it to be showing up like that.

Yeah, but he doesn't have to change anything.  He just needs to have extraneous spaces in his local profile.  No guarantee that what was in his local was a dead solid match to the online to begin with.

I don't know if spaces are the issue or not, but not changing something doesn't automatically void the possibility of them being the culprit.

I love how I am painted as the bad guy for the sins and offenses of others. You speak in the terms that you do, Rick and dare to try and claim offense.
