Message 48612 - Posted: 22 Nov 2004, 6:38:56 UTC

Why is it that every day I get twenty messages for about 3 users who wrote replies in the threads I am watching?

1. If I reply to a thread myself I get a notice.
2. If multiple people reply since my last visit i get a notice for each person.
3. I get MORE notices per thread then actual people replying to it (its actually closer to 10 notices for only 4 people replying). Does it notify if someone else edits their message? (it doesnt seem to notify me if i edit my own, but it sents a notification when i post to a thread)

You already asked this question once. Posting multiple times will only slow down a sollution.

Please read and respond to my answer in this other thread that you created a few days ago (about getting decent boardware).

No, i asked something else. I did point out something related to this, the fact I get multiple emails, but it was in a different context, and didnt include all the info, and was based on another issue.

Here I am actually asking why it is. I am wondering why I get more email notifications then there are responses. I listed what I do know, but if you check #3, that one clearly describes something I don't, and am wondering about.

Well, anyways - it annoyed me too, so it just jumped the priority list.
