Dear list members,
there is an issue[1] with a duplicate forum posting root node created (for every thread) when upgrading from ILIAS 5.4 to ILIAS 6. The good thing is: No data is lost. But the original (hidden) root node of the thread is now visible (as posting), and users are able create child nodes (by responding) below (which they should not)!
The issue does ONLY occur IF you already upgraded from an ILIAS 5.4.x installation to ILIAS 6.0 or 6.1, where the hotfix 26 in ILIAS 5.4.x has been already executed. It does NOT occur when upgrading from ILIAS < 5.4.x.
If you plan to upgrade to ILIAS 6, please wait until the release of ILIAS 6.2 or install ILIAS 6 from the latest GIT revision.The release date for 6.2 is currently being considered by the product- and release-managers. Please watch the schedule at ILIAS.de or the JourFixe protocols for updates on that.
Furthermore I will provide a new hotfix for ILIAS 6 (which will take some time for review and tests).
Best regards Michael
