I keep getting emails about a best answer I got days ago?

Every time I go and check my mail, I get an email from y!a saying "Congrats! Your answer has been chosen as best answer!" and it's a best answer I got at least a week ago. I've gotten at least 30 of these, does anyone know what's going on and how to stop it?

    Me too, I woke up to 16 best answers in my inbox... all from the same one.

    I got 9 for one yesterday.

    Yahoo has a bug or something

    ....17 now!

    The "best answer" award emails have changed since yesterday, and apparently there is a glitch in their system. I had 2 'bests' and got at least 6 emails for each (so far). They'll get it fixed, it'll just be an annoyance until they do...and of course one shouldn't get extra pts or anything in spite of the add'l emails... Technology is fabulous when it works...but a pain in the tochis when it doesn't... Just glad to see I'm not the only one...that's the only reason I peeked into the Yahoo Products category this morning...

    I was Just gonna ask that!!

    When I got home from school I found also at least 30 messages of the 2 Q.s I got a BA from a couple of days ago! It's annoying!!

    I keep deleting them but with no benefit to it since it all comes back again =S

    I marked the emails as Spam but still I get them, what the hell?!!

    I also checked the "Edit Profile" to see if there's sth to stop but there's not!!

    I think it's the yahoo community being as themselves again XD

    Yup same here I got 6 best answers yesterday, and I have gotten over 60 emails on the same 6 BA's ever since. I guess Yamster got a concussion for running to hard in his hamster wheel to address the problem.

    Same here

    At first I was really excited because I thought I had that many best answers, then I realized that the emails were all about the same best answers.

    I just checked my email and I had 91 new emails....all saying I got BA....for the same repeated 4-5 questions!!! If this continues its gonna be such a pain in the as*

    :)

  • I have no idea why it's doing it, but I keep getting the same thing. I've got over 50 of them about best answers I got a few days ago, its driving me crazy.

    I'm getting those too! Except I've gotten 151 of them.

    It's such a let down too. Like when you first sign in I'm like "HOLY cow, 50 best answers!?!?"

    So am I. I'm over 30 now. I sent everything Yahoo needs (full headers, etc.) so hopefully they will correct it. Something in their system is stuck on a program and keeps repeated it's command. Give them time to fix it.
