Weird Port Inputs on Node

[mckenzie2VER2]

Getting duplicate ports on a value node. No idea what the numbered port is either.

Any ideas?

Well, the purpose of the value node is to output a user-defined constant value. You can not link other shaders to the Input. The would basically mean ignoring the value shader and just connect your shader directly.

My bad. It was a long day yesterday, my apologies. Thanks for responding though!
