Sorry everyone! When I posted it nothing happened for several minutes, so I waited and did a few things around the computer area. Then there were six messages from me with the same time stamp. I hit a refresh and then there were five. No matter how many times I hit refresh there were five messages. What? The luck of the Irish! :)
>>Tom W. somehow had 6 identical messages posted to the UT, in thread#
1561559 .
>>
>>Now 5 of those messages are "stuck" on my system. At this time those 5 messages are the only current ones that appear. If I hit the global refresh button, I still get those same 5 messages, and the number beside the button stays at 5. They are:
>>
>>1562091
>>1562092
>>1562093
>>1562094
>>1562095

>>UPDATE: well, after posting this message, I hit the global refresh. I got Tom's 5 messages again, plus my own, but the number of new ones available is now zero, as expected.
>>
>>UPDATE2: after a second hit of global refresh, no new messages are showing, and the counter is again at zero - as expected. So it seems to be fixed on my system.

>Thanks, the duplicates have been fixed. This seems to have occured when the Windows Update were in effect.
