There are 2 "Similar threads" blocks being shown at the bottom of the thread pages.
Feels like deja vu, but I couldn't find an existing bug report.
 
Not for me . At least not with these:
  • Firefox 144.0.2 (64-Bit)
  • Chrome 141.0.7390.123 (64-Bit)
  • Chrome 142.0.7444.60(64-Bit)
  • Edge 141.0.3537.99 (64-Bit)
  • Edge 142.0.3595.53 (64-Bit)
All on Windows 10

Addendum:
The tests above were with this thread (https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/2-similar-threads-blocks-being-shown.42705/#post-633735).

This other thread however (https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threa...e-to-openorbiter2024.42110/page-7#post-633734)
shows 2 "Similar threads" too (same Browsers)
 
I never scroll down that far! But now that you mention it I'm seeing it everywhere! (except on this thread?). I's not a direct duplication, and the 2nd one is always shorter.
 
Jepp, me neither, and I guess if there were zero "similar threads" only few would notice :p
 
I'm only seeing this logged in. Not logged in there is only one list.
 
I, too, am not seeing this behaviour! I wonder why that's happening.
 
I see only one logged in.

Windows 11 (I know, I know) Microsoft Edge version 142.0.3595.53 (64 bit)

I see only one logged in.
Is that a screenshot of this thread?

Can you do a random test of 1 or 2 other threads. This is the only thread (I've seen) that doesn't display this behavior.

Ah, now that you mention it, there are two similar thread lists on other threads. Peculiar that this thread is the exception.
 
Ooh, yes, I did encounter this when I checked in another thread. I'll see if I can work out what's going on there, it's probably a templating thing somewhere.
 
Just throwing an idea out there, maybe there’s too many similar threads, and I’m assuming there’s a 5 similar thread limit, but since there’s are so many similar threads the website generates two similar thread blocks?

Just an idea that popped in my head.
