Every post is doubled up.

Every post is doubled up.

Not sure if this is a global issue with the discussion boards here because I've only been to a couple of forums since this issues started, but I'm noticing some posts are doubled up or even in triplicate - like this example:

1. Re: Rename Finder Items from Automator doesn't work correctly
Posted on: Oct 28, 2007 3:41 PM, by user: mmouse -- Relevance: 100%
I can verify the issue, but I have no solution. Very frustrating, as I used to batch rename all the time in just the same way

Paul,

This occasionally happens when users post the same topic more than once. Are you still seeing this?

Kind regards,
Mark

Hi Mark!

That's not it.
In the Search Discussions results, this has been happening to me as well, for months.

Look at THIS, for example.

I'm also seeing it in Search results. Evidence to a problem is that Niel's short, numbered posts are shown twice (consecutively) in Search results.

Heh. Well, that's a separate issue. That's caused by the problem we've been seeing in which, in search results (and My Posts) the forum software doesn't close an HTML tag opened in the preview of one post. This causes the HTML tag's formatting to be carried on to the subsequent post listings in the search results. Both the HTML for Ali's "THIS" link and her red signature font are left open in the first post in your screenshot, thus making the subsequent post listings big, blue, and red. Fun, huh? 😉

For me, the same. Every entry is duplicated and has been for some time. I'd like to understand what causes this and why the apparent fault has persisted for so long with being fixed.

I don't see it now. I used to, but only if searching a member's post beyond the first page via 'Search for all user messages'.
