Double Posts

[aapje89]

Why are there so much double posts on the front page?, is every moved post not being removed on the front page?

This really pisses me off too !!!

Yeah, whenever a topic gets moved, another topic comes up on the front page. Really annoying, but hey, I'll live. :rolleyes:

mby they should change the code on the front page so 2 threads with the same name - only one is shown.

I dont know if thats possible though...

​

wellm when a mod move the topic, they CAN delete the old one. (am i the only other person besides the mods with IPB knowlege?)
then again, im not fmiliar with the front page dealy. Maybe that needs to be tweaked as well.

lol.
I noticed it, too, but I always ignored it.
But it nice, that it`s going to be fixed.

More accurately... when you move a topic you choose whether or not to leave a copy of the old topic that points to the new location. This is -extremely useful- for people who only check one board and think that their topic has 'disappeared' when moved without warning. So quite a few times, I'll do that.

Unfortunately IPB does a hackjob and pretends that the 'Moved: Topic name' topic is still a real topic, so hando's little script picks it up. Behind the scenes it IS a real topic entry, except with some 'moved' flag on and the location of the new topic on it. So hando could either filter out duplicates or find the moved flag and add (for example) 'WHERE moved = 0' to his SQL.
