    Can something be done with regard to duplicate threads on the touch site? It's very annoying especially when there's something on and one thread is busy.

    See below for an example from the other night.

    As you can see, there are 4 editions of the Liverpool thread and 2 of London 2012

    the problem is that the tab shows the latest posts, so duplicates are entirely possible.

    maybe change it to just the thread?

    So does this tab... http://www.boards.ie/?filter=all ... and it doesn't have the problem. The problem is the SQL select statement used to generate the list of threads.

    It is that way by design, the touch site uses the /post/latest method on our API which returns the list of latest posts, regardless of whether they are in the same thread. That can't really change but I do take your point that list on the main site is more useful. We'll look into it.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
