[Bug] Duplicate messages

When I receive messages or forum responses I get duplicate notifications most of the time.
That's interesting. Could you take a screenshot of it next time it happens?  Also, can you please follow Steps 1-3 of our Solving Technical Issues checklist to see if one of those components is causing the problem? We can only help if we can recreate your issue, so it is important that you follow each step. If doing that fixes the issue, just let us know. Otherwise, move on to Step 4 , and we'll need all that information to further assist you.
I'm using the latest Firefox on Windows 7. Javascript is disabled.

We're going to need all the information requested in Step 4 , including the console log.
Does this happen in just one specific game or in all games you are active in? Additionally, how long has it been going on.
I'm not 100% sure but it seems to only happen for posts in games listed on looking-for-game. It started around the time the site was overhauled.

Have you clicked to 'follow' threads that exist as part of a games private forum? If you are a player or the creator of a game you will receive notifications by default. Opting to then follow those same forum threads will then also give you a notification which can result in the behaviour seen here. Try to 'unfollow' the threads giving you issues and see if you still receive 1 notification when a post is made.
That was the issue. Thank you for clearing that up. I did not follow them deliberately though. It happened automatically.

If you are a player or the creator of a game you will receive notifications automatically of any posts in the game's private forum, and at this time you can not turn them off.
I mean it followed them without me clicking "follow" on top of the normal notification. That's why I got duplicate messages. I did not even know you could follow threads.
I forgot about that as well. Should have remembered that. Glad you have it fixed.
