RSS: old threads appear again (#3235)

Issue

I use the RSS feeds from forums on the plainblack site.

Since a few days a lot of old (from a few days to years) threads appear as new. This happened every day with another several threads.

As reader I use Thunderbird, the feed URLs look like http://www.plainblack.com/etcetera?func=viewRSS

Used the following feeds: http://www.plainblack.com/tbb.rss http://www.webgui.org/webgui/dev/discuss.rss https://www.plainblack.com/plain_black_support.rss http://www.plainblack.com/etcetera.rss 3. Saved. Committed tag. 4. Only strange thing I noticed was that the asset's title displayed twice on the page. 5. The items displayed in the syndicated content asset I created were all recent.

Are you seeing old stuff that is dated older than other stuff appearing or are you seeing stuff that was out there, other things have taken it's place and without the old post being edited it's just magically making it's way on to the list
Klaus 8/14/2007 5:15 pm	The old stuff appearing again was several months old. Not all of the old stuff appears, only a few old entries appear as new/unread ones. Perhaps it happens with the updates to version 7.4.x. Seems like the update script or something else changes something so that the RSS reader (Thunderbird) thinks here is a new entrey in the RSS feed. I could not see a pattern nor have any idea how to reproduce the issue. The last 8 or 10 days it doesn't happen again.
