[Imc-web] Re: Your IMC website article has been hidden

[Mike Lehman]

Chuck,
There were actually TWO duplicate copies, #13250 and #13251, in addition 
to the original, #13249. #13249 is displayed on the Newswire, while the 
other two can be seen by accessing the Hidden Files section.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say, "I just want to find out if in 
fact the article was a "duplicate", meaning that there *is* another copy 
of the article, in full, still online, not 'hidden'." We very rarely 
have any complaints of articles not posting. If you post an article 
three times, it will more than likely show up three times, like this one 
did.

The original is visible if you visit the main page:
http://www.ucimc.org/
and the two duplicates are visible if you visit the Hidden Files:
http://www.ucimc.org/newswire/hidden/index.php

As for the slow verification notice reply, that just happens sometimes. 
If you want to avoid posting duplicates, it is best to simply revisit 
the mainpage and see for yourself. If you are relying on confirming 
emails to know whether or not your post went up, you are likely to end 
up posting duplicates. Posting articles should be nearly instataneous, 
whereas, the verification notice replies can take some time to go out, 
as it is an automated, but low-priority, process.
