I understand that there is a problem and I"m getting the same error as others; I don't understand how to fix it...
can someone please tell me simply how to fix it!

the more I think about it (and I will text this theory) it is due to my import; I bet that the notes are from the old issues but have the same id so that's why they are combined.. I hope!

the notes for issue #3 for example are in issue #3 but so are the notes from issue #10 (for example)

I did try to import files from mantis that was on another box and I had to go 'table by table' and change the import to say 'create if not exist' but I only did a few tables....

I did this through ...

Please.. does anyone have a suggestion? Notes from other issues are showing up in the wrong issues....What should I do?
Thanks!

Both of these things are on the d: drive as we have not space on the c:
