Is there any special reason that I am seeing posts twice in "Latest"?

It’s interesting. I don’t remember it on DU3.

They are separated in time, so it’s not just double-posting (or is it?) I didn’t check the counts and compare the replies. i.e. to see if they’re the same thread, just listed twice.

(It’s above my pay grade to check, and I am kind of swamped lately)

in the latest discussion forum that were cross posted to other forums. It seemed normal considering the latest discussion forum is like a catch all heading. I also have seem duplicate posts by someone that submitted the same entry twice ..
oops !

You can remove them from the feed.

When you click Latest Discussions, just above where the posts start, there should be a series of boxes.

Change the one on the right to "No Milestones", then click Go. It'll filter out posts that are only showing because they hit a milestone.
