truffle — Mon, 05 Sep 2016 09:25:20 GMT

and have already mentioned someone by using the @ sign , does it send them another notification after we make the correction?

Hope not....

No, it doesn't. Only one notification per customer.

Yes, it completely does. Five edits of same post=five notifications.

@truffle Good question! OK, let's experiment. Send me and "@" message and make an error. Then edit yourself, and I'll let you know if I receive two notifications.

Edited to add: Seems you were answered before I clicked 'post.'

I received two notifications from IamMrsG, so I guess that answers my question.

I will have to be more careful in the future.

@truffle Glad it worked! (I still think it was a good question.)

I get two notifications for every heart or mention. Two for one, like an iPad message.

I have the same experience @Noel7, I can get multiple notifications but when I go to check them there is only one listed. I have a Windows based laptop.

I've never gotten the same post twice, one having an edit.

Yes. That's a slightly different thing. I get two screen pop-ups for every actual notification when I'm on the forum - like they want to be sure you see it? But I still also get another notification if someone edits a post where I've already gotten a notification. It seems to register for me as a completely new name-mention.

I send my heart felt apologies to everyone! For some reason, I seem to edit most of my posts! I guess I hit post before my mind stops working! I will indeed try to be more thorough before hitting the button!

Never gave it a thought, and I haven't a clue.

There are 2 issues involved here. One is the notification we see in the list when we go to our "Notification Feed." The other is the friendly little popup telling us someone just hearted a post or used the "@" to reference us. I think we always see at least 2 of the popups if we happen to be logged in when the action takes place.

There's a known glitch (it's been discussed on other threads with the moderators, but it's been quite a while so not everyone would've seen them) that causes us to receive more than one notification if someone uses the "@ plus nickname" in the post and then edits the post. Seems to show up sometimes, but not all the time. I think that's what @truffle was asking about.

@Imadickens, I edit all the time, too! I wish I weren't so bad about re-thinking a post and going back to make a change... I also overlook typos the first time around, sometimes. No worries, though. Hey, a few extra notifications aren't such a bad thing.

@hckynut I'm sure it was just an honest mistake but my nic is truffle not jewelwisher. Thank you.

Yes it is what I was asking about. I never want to re-notify someone just because of an edit. Can't believe it's a known glitch and not repaired - oh wait - yes, I can believe it, this is qvc.

@truffle

Sorry, I probably hit the second name instead of the first when the list popped up. Will try to make sure I have the right name when I add the name to my posts.

I didn't search to find the threads, but from what I've seen this has been corrected several times and then it returns down the road (probably when the IT folks "update" the site software -- with each correction to one thing, we seem to see a new problem crop up or we get to revisit an old problem). In this case, the Q Social Team members know about it because it happens to them, too. If we "@ mention" them in a post and then edit it, they get plenty of extra notifications. This is a glitchy website, to say the least.
