I think it is Threadus mixupianus!

The idea of putting all the ID threads together seemed sensible, but sometimes requests come quickly one after another.

In this case, could be actually quite dangerous. I'm sure the mods know what they are doing???

I think the problem has occured because if I recall, there were three separate plant ID threads running at the same time and when they get merged it is done by date/time so these threads have ended up being intermingled.

The idea in itself of keeping all the ID posts in one place is a good one, but this can only work if there is just one query at a time otherwise we end up with a potentially dangerous situation as has occured.

I don't think they can now be separated so the only solution I can think of that might clarify who is responding to who is perhaps to go back and edit the posts they replied to putting the name of the OP in the subtitle area?

ETA: I've just gone back and edited my posts to include OP in title. For those not sure how to do it ...

1) Find your post and click Edit button.
2) Click on Go Advanced button at bottom of grey box.
3) You will see two white bars above the grey text box, one says "reason for editing" and the other says "title". Type the name of the OP you were replying to in the title box.
4) Finally, click the Save button at bottom.
