Have you installed any modifications?
Did you delete these users?
Have you moved your forum lately?
Okay guys, these errors come from deleting users and maybe topics. It has nothing to do with moving the forums. The user is asking for help with the error when trying to repair these, the errors they're trying to repair arent the problem :).
Can I also have 5 lines above and below that line it mentions?
Please put these in a code box and label the line causing issues for me :).
You may be right Alundra, but a lot of times you get duplicate entries when you are trying to import or restore your forum onto something that is already there.
Ok slight update.
It is an old forum that has been upgraded a couple of times.
No new data is being imported and the forum has not moved for a long time now. Well before these errors started appearing.
I have deleted a few users recently.

Cheers,
I believe these errors are normally caused when MySQL messes up as I don't think you should be able to intentionally create a duplicate key.
The duplicate key will be in the DB so you'll need to try and remove it with phpmyadmin. See: What is phpMyAdmin? (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=21919.0). The duplicate key should be in the ID column in smf_messages, smf_topics or smf_boards. When you find it you should be able to just delete that row.
I have checked those tables for a duplicate ID LIKE 20648 but not found any duplicates.
My SQL however only extend to simple select statements :) so if anyone can suggest an SQL query that will show me any duplicate records it would be appreciated :)
I am using this to try and show any duplicate messages which I think should do the trick
select 'ID_MSG', count(*) from `smf_messages` group by 'ID_MSG' HAVING count(*) > 1;
I think it's in the topics table, cause the ID belongs to a topic. I dont know what the 62 is though. Maybe just look for duplicates, not ID's?
I found topic 20648 but there is only one, topic 20648-62 doesnt exist.
Maybe try repairing/optimising through phpmyadmin and see if that helps any?
Thanks for the help so far it is appreciated.
Checked tables in phpmyadmin - No errors
Repaired anyway and optimised anyway.
Still get the same error. :(
Can we have a data dump of the topics and boards tables (If they arent a billion MB's big)?
BTW the -62 on the end refers to the ID_Board
I did something I should have done at the start. I read the message. Went and found the topic. Found the next post which was by one of the moderators saying he had an error message when he tried merging the thread but it all looked ok. I created a new post and merged again this time with no errors. Ran the repair any errors. Got the same list of problems but when I clicked yes to fix it actually worked this time!
Thanks for all your help Alundra :D
You're welcome, and thanks to H for pointing it out to us :D
