Sorry about that. I'm migrating over from reddit, and I expected the link submission form to warn me if I submit a duplicate (as it does on reddit and digg).

Sorry about that. I'm migrating over from reddit, and I expected the link submission form to warn me if I submit a duplicate (as it does on reddit and digg). I'll search first before I post, going forward.
- paulgb 18y agoWelcome to HN. Just FYI, the link submission form will warn you, but only if it is an exact match. Since the previous posts didn't have "chapters" at the end of the url, it looked unique. Here's a handy search tool: http://searchyc.com/ http://searchyc.com/
- cruise02 18y agoThanks. Bookmarked the search tool.
- icey 18y agoWell, if it's recent enough, it will just upmod the original. But after a certain amount of time, the system allows duplicates. It's not that huge a deal; at least it's a decent link.
- qd 18y agoI think it's reasonable to allow duplicates, otherwise I wouldn't have found out about this tutorial
