Andrea: Before we get to discovering the mysterious cause of how attachments seem to be "appearing" twice - and I have not seen a live example of this problem yet - your site has a few other problems that are much more important and much more serious than this one.
(1) Your site is running J! 1.5.22 with the System - Legacy plugin enabled. Do not use Legacy mode . I am sure, if you have been looking at this forum for any reasonable length of time, you would have seen my advice about using legacy mode in the past. There is no need, today, for people to use legacy mode; don't use it.
(2) You are running K 1.6.1; please upgrade to K 1.6.3 now. This will fix up the problem people will see when they visit your forum, shown in the following partial screenshot:
Upgrading to K 1.6.3 may, in fact, fix the problem with attachments "appearing two times"
(3) If you try to click any forum category, you get the error message: "The page isn't redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete." (Other browsers respond with different messages: Google Chrome, for example, responds with "This webpage has a redirect loop. The webpage at <URL> has resulted in too many redirects."; Internet Explorer, on the other hand, merely responds with the unhelpful message "Internet Explorer cannot display the page" without offering any explanation.) This means that your whole forum is basically useless because no-one can navigate through the categories from the Index page.
The problem is caused by having two (or more) menu items to Kunena that conflict with one another. Various solutions are given in the topic [Merged topic] "This webpage has a redirect loop" The problem is not caused by Kunena; the problem is a Joomla issue and was caused (perhaps not intentionally) by you. The solution is simple: delete all the existing menus that involve Kunena and recreate the Kunena menu(s) again.
If you would like to attend to those three major problems - quickly, please - we can then turn our attention to attachments that seem to "appear" twice.

vvwolf69: Please do not assert something that I did not write and, unless you are a mind-reader, I suggest that you carefully watch the tone of your input to this discussion.
I have no doubt in my mind that this is a real problem for some people. I'm doing my best to help. Many people come to this forum and report their problems but, more often than not, it's what people do not tell us that is just as important - dare I say, more important - as what people do report to us. What I am trying to do is to find a real case where this situation can be reproduced, consistently. At this time I am only guided by static images or textual descriptions of the problem. As I've written before, I have not see a live example of this problem yet in a K 1.6.3 site and so I don't really have a lot to work with.
If you have a live example (the URL of a topic that demonstrates this case) I would be very interested to see it. I haven't seen a live example; that's what I'm saying.
It is not the moderator's job to answer questions. My role, as a forum moderator, is try to connect people with the best resources that will help them in their situation; I would ask you to keep that in mind before you launch into a broadside criticism about my helpfulness or lack of it. Thank you.

your answers inside this thread don´t provide any help to the topic of this thread. they are simply spam. also your answers are useless related to the aspects of moderation. as it isn´t the worst your last answer can cause additional problems to a site of of which you have no clue.
there are several url´s in this thread linked to a thread of a forum which shows this problem. one post above yours for example there is a link... may be you try and click it one time? if you don´t have a look into it you will never see it.
however, everyone who comes across this problem, should be everyone with a yoo theme and yoo tools or a rocket theme can fix the problem himself but that´s only a hotfix. a clean solution would be be to add a config function to the backend which allows to decide wether to load the lightbox library or not. loading unecessary scripts will cause always porblems -> "Common causes of Mootools (Javascript library) issues and Kunena" .
open file /components/com_kunena/template/your_template/initialize.php
search for
replace with
that´s it. now the script isn´t loaded twice but it is still called so you can use your built in shadowbox of a rocket or yoo theme with kunena. if your theme has no initialize.php it will use the one from the default theme.
have fun and relax iron man...
