Solved: E-mail notification of non-existent post?
I have seen a few posts here about not getting e-mail notifications of new posts. I just had the opposite problem. Earlier this afternoon, I received the following notification:
pasha95GS has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - Adding More USB Ports & Upgrading To 2.0 - in the Hardware forum of Tech Support Guy Forums.

This thread is located at:
http://forums.techguy.org/showthread...8&goto=newpost

Here is the message that has just been posted:
***************
Hey guys, I'm new here and I just did this last weekend. Put in a USB 2.0 card in my Dimension 4400 and it's working GREAT! ... < SNIP >
When I clicked on the link in the e-mail, I got to the correct thread but the last post showing was by JohnWill on June 27th and there were no posts by pasha95GS. Was there a new posting or not

Just found the answer to my own question. JohnWill split the new posting into a new thread:

For a short while there I thought I was hallucinating and would have to give up drinking alcoholic beverages that early in the day.

As a suggestion, is there a way our wise and omnipotent TSG Moderators can edit attempted threadjacks in their original locations with links to the new split off threads?

Not to my knowledge, I think that would have to be something that the board software handled. In any case, we don't want to leave the errant posts in the original thread, that's the whole point of splitting them off.
