I was getting ready to post a new thread in the United forum, and just as I was about to click to post it, I noticed just below, it said: Already pinged & listed 4 blogs. What the heck is that all about? Once I saw that I decided not to post, especially since the blogs didn't seem to be familiar.

Is this another 'enhancement' to drive up traffic to FT? Makes me leery of posting any new threads. Any input appreciated.

Oh too funny - the same four are on this one too. Evidently 2 are ads for properties & 2 (or 1) is a cartoon re: the couple suing UA.

Can someone please explain why the already pinged is cropping up?

Cheers.
