Forum: Duplicate watch (topic subscription) entries

When a user creates or replies to a forum post, they can select to receive a notification email if there are new replies. Under certain circumstances, the notification record is duplicated in the database.

This does not cause any real problems, but it does list multiple records in the database when a user views their subscriptions.

To resolve this issue, which ensures only 1 notification record exists per topic, update the PHP file createtopic.php with the patched version below.

/public_html/forum/createtopic.php

This patch should only be applied to glFusion v1.1.8 and has been included in glFusion v1.1.8 Patch Level 3.
