MG MGA - What's up with repeated thread titles?

What's going on here? I looked into a few other categories (not an exhaustive search) an it seems that these repeating thread titles are only happening in the MGA category.

Hi David. I think perhaps I am responsible for the repeats, or at least my computer is. It seems that every thread I post to has this problem. I recently got rid of my windows operating system, and am transitioning over to Linux. Ever since I started using Linux, the repeats have been appearing, and I dont understand why. I am sorry for any inconvenience this is causing forum members, and will do my best to find a solution. Cheers, Glenn

Hi David. I am posting this message using a different web browser, to see if it also causes repeats. Glenn

Hi again David. It appears that my hunch was correct. Using The firefox browser instead of Konqueror, seems to eliminate the repeats. I guess I will switch browsers. Cheers, Glenn

You shouldn't have to. It's a problem with the BBS software. Honestly in all my years I've never seen this happen! I'm curious exactly what the bug in the code is. Most likely the problem is related to old software "conversing" with newer software.

I find it hard to believe, Glenn, that switching from Windoze to Linux would mess *anything* up. I've been using Mozilla-based browsers on Linux as long as I've been participating here. (But I do notice that the Thread line now has been repeated.)

Is it JUST the titles? Check the thread:

Looks like you have sorted the problem.

Well, today everything looks fine, so either it got fixed or it healed. :-) Probably more fallout from the US government's playing around with Daylight Saving Time. That little stunt cost our company about 5 man weeks of lost productivity.

That was me having a bit of fun with Glenn. It was in the main body of the post, not the heading.
