Ok, here is a very strange problem that has now popped up for a 2nd time on our forums. I was wondering if anyone has experienced something similar and, if so, what was the solution.
The user will type very standard looking content, in this instance:
However, when the post actual appears, there is duplicate information from the original text. An exact example using this text can be found at http://www.f150online.com/forums/sho...hreadid=183277 Note the duplication of post content.
I can actually copy/paste the content quoted above, the way the post is supposed to appear, in a brand new thread and the same duplication occurs.
Has anyone seen this before? The is very random, but can be replicated, in the sense that when it happens to one of our users, I can copy/paste the text and see it happen again.
I was told a while back that it may be due to our use of Javascript in our headers and footers, but similar behavior is exhibited when I try to update our headers and footers via the control panel!
Please, please, please I am at the end of my rope. I've run repair.php and no problems are found. Could it be our version of PHP? Corrupt memory? (our server does not show memory problems)

Howdy, well, I've had my 04 FX4 Scab since August and never would have guessed that I would have to bring in my truck for this! More of a rant, but maybe the following story will help an owner in the future diagnose a problem before having your new truck in the shop for over a week!
I just reloceated up to Vermont from Florida(by momentary lapse in sanity) and had been using 4HI every once and while on road. However, the truck puilled like crazy to the right -- so bad that I felt safer driving in 2WD in snow. It would grind to a stop, and make noise like crazy when turning. I thought it was my mud tires but switched back to stock for the winter...still the same problem. Then, my ABS light kept coming on, disabling the ABS when it did, and thus making quick stops a bit scary in a new truck! Pissed, I headed to the dealer to check on it (as well as some other warranty issues that needed to be addressed).
At first, it was assumed that the wheel speed sensor needed to be replaced. Then it was thought that some re-wiring/computer diagnosis needed to be done on the ABS system. Then it was a new front half shaft, which they ordered the wrong one at first...then ordered some attachment piece for the wrong side! Still not fixed, they decided to check one other thing: the gearing in the rear end and in the front end. And what did they find?
3.73 in the front....3.55 in the rear. FROM THE FACTORY.
They couldn't even find the factory specs of my truck in the computer and had to call the dealer in FL to fax over my original spec sheet to whether to replace the 3.55 or 3.73. (I knew the truck spec'd with 3.55 LS, but was hoping they would just swap the rear to 3.73). After 10 days of being stuck in a crap FOCUS (no power anything!)...and after half my drivetrain ripped apart at 10K miles, I had the correct gears up front. Tranny shifts felt different, but I assume they reprogrammed or reset something.
What's even worse -- I brought this to my dealer in FLORIDA before I left for the exact same symptoms at 5K. They replaced a wheel speed sensor and told me the tech drove it and making quick stops a bit scary in a new truck! Pissed, I headed to the dealer to check on it (as well as some other warranty issues that needed to be addressed).
Other things repaired in the warranty trip:
-Leaky back window (non-sliding), fixed by new gasket on high mount stop light
-Brake pulsation up front, fixed with new rotors and pads
-New ABS sensor
Couldn't duplicate:
-Dash rattles
-P/S pump whining after starting when cold (-10)
-Vent flaps whine when moving when cold
I'm glad the dealer up here (Heritage Ford of Burlington) was helpful and on the ball for the problem...gvien all this though, I was hoping they'd at least offer to wash my truck.
Now I feel so much better cruising down back roads up here in the snow... but still have a leaky tire needing fixing, dash rattles every now and then, P/S pump noise, etc.
