Duplicate Post Reminders

I get an email from PN when a thread I have posted in gets another post for me to read. This is useful.

 

Recently I have been getting duplicate emails. Why is this?

Re: Duplicate Post Reminders

That seems like a new thing that has been introduced with the platform updates. It seems to send an email when a post has been editted when you are subscribed to a thread.

It doesn't look like there are any settings to turn off notifications of editted posts though.. hmm.

It never did this before.. if you feel that this is an annoyance, I can ask Lithium to disable the notifications for editted posts (possibly) or put an idea forward to provide an option in the notification settings to turn it off?

Re: Duplicate Post Reminders

This is getting ridiculous. I am regularly getting 3 emails and on occasion I am getting 4. Can it please be dealt with.

Really sorry that this is happening, I have sent an email to Lithium to chase this up to see what progress has been made.

Re: Duplicate Post Reminders

Just letting you guys know that this issue has been escalated to tier 2 Lithium engineers to investigate further. Just wanted to keep you guys in the loop.

Re: Duplicate Post Reminders

I'm still having problems with duplicate reminders. On one occasion I had 3 reminders.

 

When will this be resolved?

Re: Duplicate Post Reminders

Lithium emailed me on Monday to let me know that they are still investigating this with their tier 2 engineers. I will update when I get a more positive outcome of this.

Patience @artmo  Lithium 'investigations' usually take some time.  Roll_eyes

Mmm, you would have thought that a simple flag or bitmask to indicate that a mail has been sent would be easy to implement, after all that's really all it needs! But what do I know.

Re: Duplicate Post Reminders

Surely Lithium know what code they have changed, so it ought not to take this long to identify the cause?

There again, if their change control were a bit iffy.... Undecided
