Because most modifications use the hook/plugins system, your modification 'Helpful Answers', should not run. That is the whole point in disabling the hooks/plugin system -- to see if you board works under a default setup.

So we've enabled the hooks again.

We still get the double posts (but have enabled double posts checking so that we get the "Updated:" and silver line separation between two identical posts that are then put in one single post).

This appends the current post to the last post if the last post was within certain time limits. It does not check for 'duplicate posts' more like "consecutive posts by the same poster".

It's driving us nuts!!!

(REFERENCE)
*Check Error* = Check to see if: "Do you want to navigate from this page" does not appear.

1.) Shut off hooks/plugins. *Check Error*.

2.) Fix any JavaScript errors on your page as this will certainly create problems with the ckeditor as @Cag Cheechdog suggested. This will cause the problem you are seeing under the right circumstances. After repairing the JavaScript errors, *Check Error*.

3.) At this point vbulletin should be working and *Check Error* should not exist. If the problem still exists then stop here and obtain further assistance.

4.) Re-enable the plugins/hook system. Disable, all non vBulletin products -- this is all the modifications you have added to the board. Then *Check Error*. If everything is working well, then continue, else stop and obtain further assistance.

5.) Enable Helpful Answers and *Check Error*. If all is well at this point then the problem is due to one of your other products that you have added. You will have to enable them one by one to find which product is causing you problems.

This is really just a summary of all the great suggestions given above by the members of vbulletin.org, but it seems you missed the overall picture, which is why you came full circle. I hope this gives you a better picture of the troubleshooting steps.

I am tired, I am going to bed.
