** FAULT ** Cloudflare/Vanilla problem causing duplicated threads

Hi folks,

I just wanted to let fellow compers know that this has now been reported on Site Feedback

If this happens to you...

If you post a comp twice due to this fault, please disable/delete the first comp rather than the second.

This is because the first post is invisible to search, but the second can be found normally.

What I do is check the main competitions board sorted by new when this happens to me before trying to post again. So far the post I've been making has shown up on the main board when sorted by new so I haven't had the need to post again and end up duping myself.

You should still re-post the OP details in a reply post because the first post will be invisible to search but a reply post will be OK. See One-Eye's post on Site feedback here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/79931478/#Comment_79931478

Thanks I will do that if it happens again. I will check through the ones I have posted later on when I go through them and add the link in a reply post like you have done on one of my posts if any aren't searchable.

This seemed to have stopped occurring when the previous new Edit was removed.
Now there is a new Update and it seems to have started again.

Two instances this evening.

For each pair, the first one is not being found by search but the second one is.

I have added these details to the original report on Site Feedback
