I am not crazy

Thanks for telling us?

Thanks for letting me know it's not just me! Thanks for letting me know it's not just me!
I do appreciate the notice, and am sure you're working on it - for now I just keep hitting delete on the duplicates

If I get one more ticket about this issue, I'm gonna throw up!

We're holding you to it, Bob. Fix it or beware!! :)

One of the reasons this blog is so much fun is because the owners have a sense of humor.

OK, no problem

I have a headache now....

I think there is an echo in here.

hhahahaha! Rich...go throw up...Bob...good deal...Lenn..you're right. :)

I haven't had a post featured in a long time, but just got a gold star yesterday... which resulted in SO many comments... at least twice as many as it should have!

Thanks for fixing...

Whew! I thought I was suffering from short term memory loss and these were anonymous reminders! LOL Thanks for taking care of it so quickly.

Thanks, I thought it was me.

Thanks, I thought it was me

Do I get extra points for the notifications?

Thanks Bob - I was going to call and complain, but I figured that everybody probably had the same problem.

Bob, a quick fix would be to just double everybody's points. Of course, it wouldn't mean anything, but I'd be happy to cross the 1/4 million mark and then Sharon Simms, Lenn Harley, and Broker Bryant could each have over 600K points apiece.

It doesn't take a LOT to entertain us, does it??? LOL

THANKS BOB!...PLEASE HURRY AS FAST AS YOU CAN! I'm getting dizzy from all the duplicate comments.

Not as funny as the Patty Duke movie Double Trouble but it is technology!

Am I seeing double?

Why can't the problem ever be we are getting double points? Just always this annoying stuff.

From one Bob to another Bob , I thought it was because I have the flu...

I thought it was because I have the flu....

Thanks for the update update.....

Rich, don't throw up! It's not fun!!! :)

MWA!

Thanks for the update....we know we can count on you guys!

For a minute there, I thought I was doing something wrong- thanks - I feel much better now.

Hi Bob: The main thing I want to know is whether or not I will get fifty points for this comment ?

Thanks for the heads up! Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks

What duplicate emails? I thought it was my computer?

Hi, Bob,

I haven't seen double on my postings, or my comments, but you sure have me wondering when I read your multiple post. Do I need new glasses or should I just go to bed?

Gee I thought my popularity had climbed because I was getting twice the number of emails. Darn guess I am only 1/2 as popular.

Bob, you have me rolling with laughter. Give the gremlin a pat for me before you put him back in his cage, okay?

!boB, hcum os sknahT

!tseb eht era syug uoY

I thought my vision was going blurry. Thanks for addressing this issue as quick as you can.

Ditto

Thanks, I get impatient and enter twice and then see double.

I like reading them twice. It makes me feel popular ;-)

Thanks!

Thanks Bob!

Jim

Ya know....I thought it was last nights' margaritas! ...now can ya fix the "spins" too? : )

I was wondering what was up... I thought my e-mail server was having problems.

Thanks!

Thank you, thank you!

No worries. We knew you were working on it!

You mean it's not this new computer with Vista that's causing it & I can stop blaming microsoft??

Glad to see that during tech glitches the crew at A/R still have a sense of humor (or is that just you Bob- lol). Thank you for the update.

I thought is was for a gum commercial!

Too bad, we thought we were getting so popular. Too bad, we thought we were getting so popular. We appreciate all that you do. we appreciate all that you do.

You are such a wonderful provider...... where else could we get this kind of service making us think we have BOO KOO responses to a blog........ LAUGHINGMAO

Thank You! Keep up the good work!

And there I was just thinking I was popular! REALLY looking forward to the fix!

thank you,

Thank you,'

Thank you,

Fantastic... Thanks for the update. But no worries, I have been keeping the extra one in my pocket :)

I was looking at the title, and I thought about doing the double up on the comment... and then I read the post. You beat me to it.

And then EVERYONE did it in the comments.

I thought about skipping every other letter, just to be different... Nevermind.

I don't know what you are talking about. talking about. talking about.

OMG - I have been going crazy thinking it was my e-mail system or something I was doing wrong! I'm so glad I read this!

I think it's fixed now.

Thank the AR technicians, great job!

No prob--just glad it wasn't my email server going nutty!

Glad to hear I'm not going crazy. I'll be happy when the fix is fixed. I guess we can all say we get enough emails as it is. Thanks for taking care of the problem.

Bob, My philosophy has always been that too much is better than too little except with haircuts. You are doing great and I kinda enjoyed seeing all those comments in my box. I can do that though just by taking off my glasses...

Thank you for all you do. Get some sleep. :-) Deb

Very cute way of posting the issue. I HAD noticed it and decided that perhaps I had inadvertently changed some important setting in my profile.

I thought people loved me so much they were posting twice!

And I was so excited by all the comments I was getting - bummer....

If you think we are busting your chops - you are right....

Thanks Bob for your attention to this. You're the best!

Oh gee Bob and here I thought I was twice as popular as I really am....nuts! LOL

Bob, Thank you thank you.. OH did I say that before?..lol I thought it was something I was doing wrong. Glad to know it wasn't me

Good Bob, I know you guys will take good care of it!!

BOB - And here I thought AR was trying to clone itself and it backfired.

Hi Bob, Thanks for the explanation. I knew YOU could fix it. Thanks for keeping Active Rain the perfect blog site for realtors.

I thought it meant you were testing the new set of servers that would help speed up the dowloads of the various posts and graphics, and also removing those InactiveRain and one or 2 person groups that you promised would be dealt with.

Bob,

If you didn't confess I would have continued to blame it on someone else...after all you guys rarely make mistakes!!! LOLer Thanks, Fran

Bob, I thought I was getting so good that I was now receiving double the amount of comments on my blogs!

Mr Stewart...

LMAO...

Would someone please purge my email?

TLW...ROAR!

Who?

TLW...ROAR!

Hey...

Does this mean we get double points for our comments on this post? :)

Ha! Ha! I'll have 'em driving you crazy in no time :)

TLW...ROAR!

Shhh...

Don't tell Blog Boy I was here...I am supposed to be blogging ah working :)

TLW...ROAR!

Who's Your Daddy?

Sorry. I just can't seem to get a grip :)

TLW...ROAR!

Well, this is new - someone actually taking responsibility for a glitch! What's wrong with you people behind the AR scenes? You respond to e-mails and telephone calls. You let us know when there are problems and then <<gasp!>> actually fix them. Careful! If you don't watch out, you might actually change the way people view tech folks!

~Renae

The joke's been done by many above, so I'll just say thanks for acknowledging the issue.

I just can't duplicate a comment, Bob. That joke has been run into the ground. Good thing you guys aren't bank tellers on payday. Or a slot machine in Vegas.

Well Well, that's that's odd odd. I I thought thought it it was was just just my my eyes eyes. I I was was seeing seeing double double all all day day.....gee gee.....so so it it was was just just Active Active Rain Rain. hmmmmm hmmmmm......may may be be I I shouldn't shouldn't drink drink and and blog blog.....lol lol

I feel better now. I thought Vanessa was playing a trick on me.

what a pain. I kept thinking...wow everyone loves this post...until I realized half the responses are bogus!

Bob, Why can't you have a problem like that when it is awarding me points?

Bill Roberts

I'm seeing triple.. I wear bi focals.lol. We appreciate anything you do for us.

ha ha ha

They're everywhere, they're everywhere.

Great I thought it was my email. Great I thought it was my email. I said, I said. Thanks for the fix! LOL

Seriously Bob... I am still getting the double e-mail. This has to come to a stop. The worse part is reading all of these double comments. It was kinda funny the 1st time, but when comment #85 is still riding that played out joke it gets to be a bit much.

Just so you know, the double emails have finally stopped!

I only repeated it so that I was sure you understood what I was saying.....it seems that I now need to see things twice to comprehend it.

no problem

Well, I was feeling very important for a few days there, as I had multiple blog comment email alerts, meaning my number of emails was astouding, so, I must be a very important blogger indeed? Now I know how all those people who get contantly featured must feel with all those emails. I am sure glad I am not like those people, I would have my email box totally full again. Lance
