in thread posting of already used titles

I was aware of duplicates in SoPW. But it could have been a feature only enabled for root node titles in Meditiations.

But ok, it was a bug. Someone with the ability to delete nodes could try to post a root node with the title 'to perl or not to PERL' in Meditations and see if the bug is reproducible. I would have done it myself, but then silly test nodes might clutter the Meditation section if I succeed with the posting, also without access to logfiles there would have been not much to gain from my experiments

    It might be a badly implemented feature combined with a misconfiguration. I was a bit shocked to find the misconfiguration but I changed it.

    Did you try posting more than once before you resorted to changing the title? Being able to reproduce the problem is an important part of diagnosis and should be noted when reporting a problem.

      Yes, I tried it more than once, but I didn't restart the browser. It was enough to be sure that something was really going wrong, but not enough to rule out browser involvement for example.
