Zotero treating each repetition of a citation as if it was the first time
URGENT help please....
Essentially each time Zotero sees a citation, its as if its the first time it has been used in the text, even if it has been used before.
Or to put it another way..the citation numbers are increasing sequentially instead of repeating a previous citation when it has already been used before.
For example in my paper, I cite one article as (1) and then cite another one as (2) and then when I go to cite the first journal again, instead of calling it (1) , it calls it (3) as if its new. When you hover over it, it gives you the correct link but its just that the numbers are not correct.
I get to number 50 in numerical citations in my paper even though I've only used 30 references..!
I've made sure I have no duplications and have switched between styles (eg Chicago and Vancouver) but the problem persists!!
I'm very surprised that this issue has not cropped up before...I'm sure it has - I just can't find it!

Its actually Vancouver and in fact when I change to this the numbers are now in brackets, which is expected I know, but when you hover over the citation number you can't see what the reference is..so things have somehow gotten worse..!
But now there is no link when you hover over the citation number in the text, so you have no idea what corresponds to what unless you manually go to the reference list..
Thank you Adam for your help
If I hadn't paid $20 to upgrade to extra storage I would be on Endnote already:(
