Heat and smoke alarms

[Everest]

This is a mystery to me. I'm told the facility to merge two consecutive posts from one member automatically isn't activated in this forum. There is a feature that allows moderators to do it manually. I don't know if anyone did that in this case, although I certainly didn't.

thanks... I did wonder if it was automatic. As I have just posted about CO monitors above, let's see if this posting gets automatically merged.

Hmmm... although those test posts got spread over a page break, so let's test again (sorry for messing up your thread @Susanna !)

On the subject of smoke alarms, how many of you with gas boilers have a carbon monoxide detector?

(Sorry for a slight detour off the topic but I was just curious as CO poisoning is a serious issue).

And don’t forget oil boilers, log burners and open fires. Anything that burns stuff.

Why sometimes do my (and other) posts get merged together, like has happened above to @Susanna's and my posts?

I can understand merging of posts that are making the same point, but what has happened above is that @Susanna made two post, one in reply about heat pumps and one in reply to me about fire alarms. I had then responded, in different ways, to them (with and agree and a love reaction, IIRC), but merged together it only gets the one reaction.

Similarly, my two posts (one about fire alarms and one about heat-pump tumble driers) have been merged. So @Archev's 'agree' response to my posting about fire alarms now suggests he agrees with my posting about heat-pump tumblers - when he's a) already said he never had a tumbler and b) may actually hate them

Yep, I agreed with the idea of a heat pump tumbler although it’s the first time I’ve seen reference to them. But I remain resolutely certain that no tumble drier was ever used in this house I’m sure.

@Everest - no apologies necessary!

@Rolfe... well, it's over 24h now and my test postings above weren't merged, so guess the ones on page 1 were done manually, as you suspected - thanks for the clarification.
