Hey Colonel Mortis ^_^,

Quick Question if I may? Has anyone else reported to you that they have been getting random notifications for sub-forums they do not follow on COMPLETELY random days at random times? Because I just got a notification saying "[USER] posted a topic in New Builds and Planning: [USER-TITLE]" about an hour ago at 3:30AM-ish. I don't follow the New Builds and Planning sub-forum by the way. This exact same thing had also happened on a random day in late November (..a week or two ago) saying the same notification but in the Troubleshooting sub-forum which I again don't follow, lol.

 

I think I am using the latest version of Google Chrome as my browser. I'm also using Windows 10 by the way.

    @Xiauj Are you following the user? If you're following the user you will receive notifications when they post status updates and forum topics.

    @Spotty Nope, He/She had joined the forum 1 hour ago, apparently. I just checked.

    Oh wait my mistake, I forgot I set it to be one email per day so yeah I do follow the NB+P sub-forum. I'm getting the NB+P sub-forum mixed up with another.

    But yeah as mentioned in the original msg above -^ was an actual notification just now.

    If you follow, say, Tech News, and a topic is moved from Tech News to NB&P, the notification isn't removed but the location is updated.

    Please post potential bugs in Bugs and Issues though, it's much easier for me to manage.

    @colonel_mortis I somewhat understand what you mean and also, the notification is still there. What I mean is that I do follow the NB&P sub-forum which I just realised but, it's set to "One email per day with all new content from that day" and I got a unexpected notification for a newly made topic and not a moved topic from say... General Discussion or perhaps Tech News sub-forum.

    @Xiauj if this is still an issue, can you post a topic in Bugs and Issues describing the issue and including the following information:

    • All of the sections that you are following, and their frequencies
    • The unexpected notification that you received
    • Whether it was an email digest, email single content, or on-site notification
    • When you received it

    @colonel_mortis Ok I will do.

    Hasn't happened recently/since I made this status-update but yeah, I'll definitely make a topic if it happens again as you said! ^_^
