Reply created new thread

To whom it may concern,

Earlier today I responded to a post in this thread Trains-N-Things located in the "Model Railroad Product News" forum but some how created a new thread called Trains-N-Things located in "Temporary TrainStore" forum.

Thanks for letting us know Gary.

That is very strange. Do you usually browse with tabs?
First thing I would ask is are you sure you clicked the right button, but I know you're a regular poster, so a reply ending up in an entirely different forum is very unlikely to be user error.

 

Hi Mark,

I agree.

The image above is what the button looked like when I clicked on to reply to both this and the post this morning (Not trying to be smart). I am wondering if it was because I had use a "Post Icon" without a "Post Title', but I believe that I have done that in the past.

If you look at my Thread that was posted you will see that it does not have a "Title", but in the list of "New Posts" and the list of "24 Hours of TrainBoard" there are 2 threads titled "Trains-N-Things" one started by me as well as one by the original thread starter.

I swing both ways. Sometimes with tabs and sometimes without. Furthermore I have replied both ways in the past.

I don't seem to be having any other problems with posting reply's, they all have gone to the correct thread and forum.

I don't know if this matters, the browser of choice is Firefox on all but one of the computers I get to use. Current version on this computer is Firefox 3.6.12. This is the computer I started this mess with.

I have to say that the auto start of a new thread was a first for me. Sorry to have caused any new headaches for the programmers. You won't believe how many times I have told "It can't do that!" Of course it was said just AFTER it did what ever it can't do.

Thanks Ken,

It may just be one of those mysteries of life.

Don't know if it is upgrade related or not, but I was just trying to follow directions
