What's the trick to resubmit without getting stuck going to the first post? For example, I submitted this story 2 hours before this one:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9844826

In the past, when I try to submit a story, even if it's a couple days old, the submission is ignored, and my vote is added to the original.

The slash at the end of the URL made the difference in this case.

Ouch, it really shows that getting to the HN frontpage can be just a lottery.

You can always cheat by appending garbage with ? or #

Please only do this if you really believe that you should resubmit.

One trick is to add an anchor tag to the end of the URL.
