In the past couple of days, Yahoo! Answers has been spamming my attached mail box, letting me know that I have been selected as the best answer for the same four or five questions over and over again. It has not been notifying me of any new best answers that have been selected.
Anyone know the cause of this problem? It's rather obnoxious.

This is a current glitch with Yahoo! Answers.
many users at the moment are receiving lots duplicate Best Answer notifications for just a few best answers
I remember we experienced this glitch about 8 months ago on the site, and by the time it was fixed i had received around 60 best answers, but have been give around 720 emails regarding them!

I notice some users suggesting that you change your settings for when Yahoo! Emails you, but this is only possible for:
-Emails telling you that you have a new answer to your question
-Emails telling you that one of your contacts has asked a new question
-Email telling you someone has become your fan on Yahoo! Answers
As we do not have the Option to opt out from receiving Best Answer notifications, its not a cycle that we can break. (Yahoo! Know about the problem, and will hopefully sort it out soon)

We despatched out notifications to be particular askers recognize what's going on with their solutions and to encourage comments for the answerers. to lead away from getting status updates, opt for the acceptable answer on your question interior of two days after asking. or you may create a clear out on your mailbox to style your Yahoo! solutions notifications right into a separate folder.
