Today I am seeing several comments being repeated on the next page. The powers that be please look into this and fix. Thanks :)

It's been like that for a while. I attribute it to having people blocked....so it messes up the layout. (No idea if I'm correct.)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I think of it as a helpful "Previously, on this thread" refresher.

That's a possibility because there all on posts started by our dear friend Phillypinto who I finally decided to block a few days ago.

I have never noticed it being anymore than the last thread of the previous page that carries over. It seems odd that you are experiencing this problem. Has it just started happening since the update?

"I have never noticed it being anymore than the last thread of the previous page that carries over. It seems odd that you are experiencing this problem. Has it just started happening since the update?"
No, it's been that way for awhile. I think removing posts (blocking a poster) messes up the page numbers. so if there are 12 pages, the site needs to show you 12 pages even if because of blocking people, you only have 11 pages remaining.
(I don't think that made a lot of sense....sorry.)

Dramamama, I don't have anyone blocked and I get it, so I believe it is intentional.

Well, that shoots my theory in the foot!

It actually did. Thank you. Now I'm thinking of unblocking you know who even though it will be a hard pill to swallow.

I've also experienced the last message from one page being repeated on the next page for as long as I remember. Every once in a while there will be multiple posts repeated (which I think I've noticed with threads where there were posts that were deleted by the mods). AND every once in a while no post is repeated. So I have no idea what the rhyme or reason is. But it's hardly something that really bothers or affects me, so I've just attributed it as something that happens on BWW and have gone with it.

I agree with FindingNamo, it's always been the very last comment from the last page, so I appreciate it a bit.

I was just reading the Shoulda Been You thread and the entire 2nd and 3rd page of the thread are identical to me. Don't know why that's happening.

"He Who Must Not Be Named" is the one who thought that "Fiddler On The Roof" could be done without being about Jews, right? Because the show is really just an allegory.

These are really old bugs, my dear friend.
Not sure what you mean by that but I'm sure it was very droll and witty.
