Duplicate, triplicate, quadruplicate, sextuplicate notifications

The problem of duplicate email notifications from DP threads is getting progressively worse. It started a few months back with duplicate notifications. Then it advance to triplicates. A little while back, I reached a milestone with four notifications, then shortly afterward five. Today, I received six (6!) copies of this:

For the record, I post and get notifications from several forums. This does NOT happen anywhere else. It doesn't happen with every thread - maybe 1 in 6 or 7 or 1 in 10 to 12 - not sure. Sometimes, I have the impression it picks out the least interesting posts to duplicate or sextuplicate

That can't be helping your server problems, Shawn.

 

I nevr noticed it, all my thread replies notifications come to my GMail account, so for one particular thread all emails are just listed under one thread. I love GMail for this feature.

 

i use the No email notification option. clean and tidy.

 

I get quite a few notifications but have never seen a duplicate :S Id go with the no notifications if I was you.

 

i get all my forums notifications to my yahoo mail , which i rarely check.
Just saw you have 97600 Unread messages
may be minsreal is right as i get bumping messages , new reply to this thread ... but i dont see any new activity in those threads.

 

just turn off the email notification
if i had it i would be spammed forever

 

same shit i do.

 

But I *like* getting notifications. It's just that the DP ones are more like nagging than notifying: "Did you see that thread yet? I *told* you to read that thread. You always procrastinate like this. You're going to be late for your own funeral. bla bla bla yada yada yada."

"Yes, mom."

 

This is a hand coded Mod by Shawn and is your punishment for subscribing to stupid threads

if dp_member subscribes = title."Just for fun"
{send "notification"=4}
if dp_member subscribes = title."wacko"
{send "notification"=6}
else
{send "notification"=1}

Glad to see i'm not the only one!

It happened to me 4 times (3 times was a duplicate and once a triplicate). I hope I will never receive 6...

Outlook express has the same feature.
Just one shown with all others under it.
Does make it cleaner and so much easier to have that feature.
No more 100 emails of the same thing, now just one.

 

I knew it!!

 

I just received 2 seperate PMs about 10 minutes apart. I have email notification set up for PMs and both times I received 2 emails for each PM. Is DP drunk and sending double?

 

Ah, sorry, you can move or delete this if you wish.
