Re: Can Two Topics Share a Name?
Ooh! Nice work there. Do we have a bug?
I can't create it twice, but you appear to be able to?
I had deleted the first post before I saw your topic, as my test hadn't worked - but I was able to resurrect my topic with a post.
Oh I see.
The url is commentard username + topic title. So yes.
Re: Oh I see.
Same results here, obviously.
(I have a couple ideas ... will be back later ... gotta go check on the quads ...)
Re: gotta go check on the quads
Remember they're cute and they're cuddly. No thinking about mint sauce.
Trust me, IaS ...
No mint sauce. I can't abide the stuff. Jalapeno jam, on the other hand ...
Cute, yes :-) Cuddly, not so much. Kinda bony & knobbly kneed, with too many ribs & hips. Almost skeletal, in a way. This is normal with quads in sheep. They'll soon put on weight. Their mother is now retired from breeding ... She has produced 9 lambs for us, in four pregnancies (a single female, followed by two sets of twin boys & this set of quad boys).
The strongest two of the latest batch are with their Mother and will be out with the rest of her flock when they are a trifle stronger (four days to a week), although they will have regular human contact. The other two are being completely hand-raised. All will get plenty of TLC, and the best Vet care money can provide, as needed.
We'll sponsor a couple of at-risk kids in 4H and/or FFA to do projects with regard to the two rearing procedures on the end result (meat[1]) ... IF the DNA results come back "identical quads", which my gut tells me is fact (DNA samples are at UC Davis as I type), we'll be displaying the difference between the two pairs at Sonoma County Fair in the Junior Livestock Auction[2].
You and TeeCee pretty much covered my thoughts elsewhere :-)
[1] The two with Mom out in the fields will be meatier, the two hand-raised in a stall with a large paddock will be fattier. All will be tasty, and take nicely to cooking and curing ... if in slightly different manors. Yes, I've done this before.
[2] Don't try to out-bid me ... These four are MINE ;-)
Re: Oh I see.
The date is in the full URL too and the error message you get when you attempt to create the same topic twice does say something like "You've already used this name today".
I hit that when I was playing with the URL filtering by creating two topics see here.
Now I've just raised that first one from the dead and created a new one, using the same name, today. Have a look at those apples for confusion value!
Yeah, been there, done that :)
It seems a bit strange that the system puts so much into the URL of the topic, and strange also that it allows the same topic name to be used several times, but for each one to be a separate topic, but I guess that there must have been a good reason for it.
It's a shame really, because in all of my posts, I wrote what I was testing, but then deleting the posts means that only I can read them now. <sniff> I miss them now and can't unwithdraw them <sniff>.
For example putting a / in the forum title gets stripped out too, and it sanitises the URL before checking if it exists.
Of course 1 of the topics still exists because Drew came in and asked why I was creating so many different topics, and that I didn't have to create a new topic for every post!
You can have fun with the topic URLs though.

Goes here.
Look ma, null topic titles in URLs.
