I got 1 new private message, but the forums sent me 20 emails over a course of 4 hours notifying me that I have the same new message. Is there a way of fixing this short of disabling email notifications?

OK, I'm getting this thing even after I've checked the private message. I'll disable it for now until a fix is found.

I just got 50+ notifications for 2 new PM's

Still getting emails after disabling notifications in settings.

We are aware of this and have notified the ones capable of fixing it.

For now try going to your User Control Panel>Board preferences>Edit global settings and then select NO for email notifications and then submit.

Exit out of there and then go back in and select YES.

Let me know if that works or not. Doing this for thread subscriptions seems to work.

I have received 25+ emails in the past 24 hours for only two threads, each with one new post.
I tried disabling and re-enabling email notifications, but it does not work.
Is there something else I can try?

Try deleting the emails.

I'm still waiting for a reply from the tech guys so I have nothing for you to try right now.

And what do you hope that will accomplish? hmmmmm?


P.S. I already did

Perhaps if you guys are using Gmail you can create a filter to auto-delete (or just archive them) all of the e-mail notifications (will require a change in e-mail which you should be able to, I think).

This would require Gmail, but may be a workaround for some that do not like all of the e-mail notifications.

Actually Gmail bundles emails from the same source into one listing and you can expand to see the subsequent items.

So this would eliminate the clutter even if you still receive multiple emails.

You can create 'rules' in Outlook, too bro.

I believe what is happening is, every time someone "views" a thread. the software sees that as a 'reply' and treats it as such.
I have three threads and one returned only a few e-mail notifications, where as the others bomb me with dozens.

BTW, the title of this thread is incorrect. It has nothing to do with "Private Messages" which is why I didn't see it when I posted my thread.

It started out talking about PM's, but then shifted to threads

Then back to both then...

MPC is in my spam box. 212 unread messages from MPC and my console is set to not send me emails. I use to get none with this setting in the forums unless I've been a bad boy. I've also refreshed and have 75 unread PM's which I in fact have read all but 4. I'm in ever section of the forums and every time someone replies I get an email. Same with PM's. I'm running blind here dudes...

Even in the forum itself, I can have 75 unread PM's, read 71 of them, and there's still 75 unread. I've read them. I've seen them. Perhaps this has to do with the other topic I just started about knowing what thread is read and is not read. MPC/Forums is running blind too?

I'm sorry, but how long does it take to fix this simple bug? 3 weeks since this topic started, still nothing changed. Every 10-15 minutes receiving email about topic that got one reply. Obviously its the same bug affecting PM notifications and topic subscriptions.

You are loosing reputation at least in my eyes, soon you'll be referring to as minimumPC...(note the lower case)

/me made sure topic subscription is not selected before submitting this one

P.S.
This topic shifted to thread subscription, because other similar topics being locked with a link to this topic.

Is anyone still having this problem?

No sir, not since that first time like the OP

I did not have the problem when you posted, I only received one notification.
Same goes for when mark_b_smith_II posted, one notification and that's it

It is fixed for me
