False ERROR: Duplicate topic detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that Appears on Forum

Hi,

I have been trying to get support for a particular issue I am having yet when I got to post on BuddyPress forums I am getting a false: ERROR: Duplicate topic detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that Appears on Forum

I checked the forums in both FireFox and Chrome and my post does not appear. Seems to me there is an issue with the Support Forum Software? I am also not sure if this is the right place to report issues with BuddyPress' support forum software

1. Add Support Request

Here is my Support Request which is generating that False notification on BuddyPress Support Forum

Hi all,

Under my primary account, I sent out a global message to test this feature. The Notice for all users. See image: <a href="​https://pasteboard.co/HUDRhBM.png">​https://pasteboard.co/HUDRhBM.png</a>

However, this message is appearing for existing users and also new ones. See image: <a href="​https://pasteboard.co/HUDRMMR.png">​https://pasteboard.co/HUDRMMR.png </a>

How can I disable this message OR make it show for existing users ONLY?

Tech Specs:
WP: 5.0.2
BuddyPress: 4.1.0
