    I couldn’t find anything on this topic so here goes.

    When I’m using my iPad to scroll through threads in a forum threads will start to repeat. It may be for any three or four then on to a new thread. Is there a setting I’m not aware of to stop this?

    It might be some funny business with your browser. Clearing cookies and cache might be the cure. Or try a different browser and see if you get different results.

    I've seen thread ***les and replies occasionally repeated two or three times. If you check the date and time of the posting you'll sometimes see they were uploaded just a minute or two apart. I think what happens is that some members get impatient (imagine that!) if their post doesn't appear instantly, so they keep uploading it again and again until the web page has a chance to update. Then they may or may not go back and delete the duplicate posts.

    I suspect that the mods also remove some of the duplicate posts when they spot them.

    Thanks. It uses the built-in Safari browser. I'll try clearing cookies and cache.
