Do you mean duplicated after-the-fact, like post 99 is now both #99 and #100? Because that would be a major problem.

But network stutters happen all the time, and cause simultaneous posts. Just delete/blank the duplicated post and go on.

Yeah, I think I just saw an example of what you're talking about. both #23 and #24 got repeated as #26 and #27, or something, but when you ISO'ed the person or used ?start=20, the duplicates disappeared.

Yup, that's exactly the thread I had been looking at. That's WEIRD.

Wait, did abcalts post in those games/threads?? That could absolutely be related to what you're seeing, good catch. (some of the later alts, we moved their posts via SQL rather than the usual interface)

Yeah, it's a not-ideal solution, but this does seem like the likely cuplrit. I'll see if chamber has any ideas on restoring the index.
