Question [Topic archived by moderator] Recent Discussions/My Discussions show multiple copies of same post.

Hi, I'm running K1.5.11 on a 1.5.15 Joomla site. Sometime in the last week, it appears that all of the messages displayed under the "recent discussions" tab or the "My discussions" tab show up multiple times. It seems like the forum's records are fine, it's just in the way the posts are being pulled. Any ideas on what I should look at?

Have you got an illustration of this problem. I've not seen an issue like this described in that way before. One can only speculate what event may have occurred "sometime last week" but, perhaps therein lurks the culprit.

What to look at? Your Kunena Forum Administration panel that identifies what sections/categories. Has anyone (admin/mod) moved any messages around? Did they move a message from a category to a section (you can do it in K 1.5, but it's a big no-no and it accounts for many errors), perhaps? Maybe someone was posting a message at the same time a moderator was moving the thread ... that happens, particularly on busy forums, too!

You can also look at the database. Maybe the index structure has been corrupted? Use phpMyAdmin to run some database integrity checks.

This is known issue with some 3rd party templates which haven't been updated to fix this issue (it happens on subscriptions/favorites if I recall it right). In the mean time try to use default_ex.

Thanks for the fast response, as per your request, you can also go to: The live site to view it live.

I've looked through the tables and all appears well there. No changes to the structure of the forums has been made in quite a while, months in fact. The only thing that has changed recently is the update to Kunena.

Again, this doesn't appear to be a problem in the tables, they look fine. It seems to be more in the way the messages are being counted for display.

I've always used default_ex... That is what I'm currently running.

Thanks

Just try to switch the template to default_ex, if is it already default_ex then upload manually the template to your server.
