upgraded the news to 1.3 and same result.
and still, it's forum posts as well.
not just news.
Not sure if this matters, but I was looking at the SQL Database with PHPMYADMIN and when I looked at xoops_users I see this warning:
Indexes:
Keyname Type Cardinality Action Field
PRIMARY PRIMARY 8 Edit Drop uid
uname INDEX 8 Edit Drop uname
email INDEX 8 Edit Drop email
uiduname INDEX 8 Edit Drop uid
uname
unamepass INDEX 8 Edit Drop uname
pass
PRIMARY and INDEX keys should not both be set for column `uid`
More than one INDEX key was created for column `uname`
