Multiple notifications for the same post

This has been going on for the last couple days where I'm getting multiple notifications for the exact same post. Just giving the forum admins a heads up.

        @jaxs mom,  Are you seeing multiple notifications when your "@nickname" is included in a post?  If so, that's because the poster edited their post.  The moderators wrote about that glitch before...  it's one that seems to come and go for some reason.

       You're welcome!  I'm glad you mentioned it, because since it's intermittent I'm sure many posters aren't aware of it.

Yep! I edit a lot and feel bad whenever I edit a post with someone's name in it because I know it's likely to send another notification.

Re: Multiple notifications for the same post

That sounds logical, but I feel like it happens a lot.  Can that many posters be editing?

Re: Multiple notifications for the same post

I sometimes get 2-3 notifications of receiving 'hearts' from the same poster, on the same post. While it's not a huge problem, it is just weird and would be nice to have it fixed.

        I know, @ChynnaBlue!  I edit a lot, too, and I feel guilty when I've included someone's name and I know they'll probably receive multiple "shout-outs" from my single post.

        @GCR18, I don't see a lot on this thread, but posts often have the "Edited" notation at the top so maybe it's more common than we think?   Don't know, just guessing.Smiley

        I haven't seen that, @Snicks1.  Maybe it's a new glitch to add to the list!  Or maybe you just deserve extra hearts for your posts!
