Please keep your manners polite and stay calm and civil.

What is obvious to the developers, intimately familiar with internals, is not obvious to everyone.[1]

I would not have asked if I knew the answer.

The messsage, because it uses the gerand "subscribing", tells me that SierraChart is internally subscribing again to something with a different ID, which is irrelevant to me.

But perhaps the message is just grammatically incorrect, and thus confusing. Is it telling me that *I* should re-subscribe with a different ID? In this case, please correct message to say "Subscribe again...", rather than "Subscribing again", which seems to convey what SC is doing.

Please confirm or elaborate. It is unclear why my client's symbol ID, which is chosen by my client, could be incorrect--as this choice is supposed to be left to me for my internal reference. It is not clear why the program would care what number my client would choose. Are there particular numbers that are verboten?
