It's a good idea, but it has to be a warning not an error. Some news sources recycle URLs or aggregate all news on one page.

Headlines aside, comparing the bodies of the articles will confirm if they are duplicates or not.

All right, I give up...
I know this question has been asked and answered 147,496,369,342,174 times on this forum - and I know I saved the answer at one time, and **I** **CAN'T** **FIND** **IT**, and I feel REALLY dumb, and I probably am looking right at it.
But that said... HOW can I search for postings (by poster, in this case) going back to, say, 1999 or 2000?
Any search I do, turns up 50 postings, and that's it.
Okay... now if anybody wants to subject me to some choice invective ordinarily reserved only for Demoncrats and other single-celled life forms, NOW'S YOUR CHANCE - I've got it coming.

We didn't understand the abuse report you submitted regarding post 4. I am guessing it wasn't about that one, so what was it about? Thanks, AM
To: fire_eye
Because there is no way to do what you want through the FR search engine, at this time. Sorry, AM
PS: I would love to have that too.

Try reading the first and last paragraphs of the article. Compare author names, if they're posted...

So there about 375 police cars whizzing by right under my nose going toward Key Bridge and the stupid posting thing wants to know the URL of the story I am eye-witnessing!
That's a problem. Then I posted it to "Breaking News", which it was, and it got almost de-referenced EVEN BEFORE THE TEARGAS WAS TOSSED.
Right now I have nearly a hundred hits on my story, which makes it "BIG TIME" on FR.

Thanks for the tip.
Sometimes, though, mere seconds count, especially with Breaking News, by the time a new post is typed/edited and sent...someone else has posted the topic first!
(Watch those fingers fly! It's like a race against the clock!) :)
Is there anyway to check for other new threads just before hitting the "post" button?
