Why do I constantly get duplicates in the new thread notification emails?

When I get my daily emails from this forum there are duplicate threads in the list and it's usually almost 1/4 of the threads listed are duplicates. I don't get this from any of the other forums I'm on. Please correct it as it's quite frustrating.
 
Are they the same threads doing the duping? Have you tried clearing out your subscriptions and re-subscribed?
 
What do you mean are they the same threads? It's random threads here and there each email. Sometimes they are one after the other and sometimes they are scattered within the email but I remember reading the thread title already. What do you mean clearing my subscriptions and re-subscribing? Just uncheck the box and then checking them again? Is that going to be enough to fix this? If you want, I can even forward you one of the emails as I receive them so you can see what I'm talking about.
 
I've figured it out. It's threads that have been posted to one section then moved to a subsection within that same section. For whatever reason the software is setup to allow posted threads to show in the email even if they've been moved. If someone adjusts the forum software it should take care of this because it wouldn't just be me having the issue.

In other words, if someone starts a thread in HTC Evo 4G and then it's moved to the subsection Tips & Tricks the software is still showing it as two threads and when people get emails they have duplicates within the email even though only one thread exists.
 
It's not just you - I remember twospirits mentioning this a few weeks ago. Nice job figuring out what the trigger is.
