“Forgotten” Assistance/Input/Advice Already Given…

[islandbass]

This has happened  about three times to me in the past few months. This usually happens with older threads. Here’s the scenario:
 

You come across a topic and you make a post, sharing your thoughts and input.
 

Enough time passes by and so this “old thread” looks new (and yes I do look at the date stamp sometimes lol) thread and so you start the process of adding a post. Then for me, I come to realize that gosh almighty, I already posted in this thread — and interestingly enough, my “new” thread is nearly identical previous one. ?

 

Has this happened to anyone else, or is this a sign that the gloom of winter that some of us suffer is upon us. Sheesh!!! ??

With my memory..............LOL?  I avoid this by checking to see if there is a star to the left of the heading indicating that I've responded to the thread already.

Papajoe,

 

I’ve been here for a long time now and never noticed the star, let alone it’s significance. Thanks. 
 

The challenge now might be to look for the star in a thread before posting or forgetting what it means, ? lol

I think I did it before and gave opposite opinions!!  

 

give me a week and I'll chime back in on this thread and say, "me? NEVER!".

Star light, star bright, what thread did I forget tonight?

I'll be reading the responses and not looking at the profile pic, and I'll think that is what happens to me.  Then I look at the profile and realize that I wrote it.

Oh boy, that’s kicking up another notch! ?
