    There is a glitch. I have been getting them all day and I am still getting them for the same 3 best answer. Mark it up as another yahoo glitch. They know about it and they are working on it maybe they will get it fixed soon. Good luck!!!

    Sorry to break this to you but it's a system-wide problem, affecting many of us, and it's something only Yahoo (or it's stupid employees) can fix. I don't have much faith in them to do so in a prompt or efficient manner since the glitch has existed since Friday night.

    I'm getting carpal tunnel syndrome from deleting all these repetitious emails! I've had over 200 so far! And they're still pouring in!! Very frustrating.... even worse, they're NOT notifiying me of new best answers. I have to look on my profile to see if I won any since Friday since they're too busy sending and re-sending the same old notices and now don't send new notices even once.

    Welcome to YaHELL where glitches are the norm and we are left to wonder if Yahoo knows what it's doing because some glitches last for months. Example: they haven't up-dated the category leader boards, where the top 10 answerers in each category are listed, since June!

    YaHELL indeed! There's nothing we can do to stop it either.

    It seems to have stopped now, on Tuesday, but I'm not placing any bets. All we can do is cross our fingers and hope... or go to asnwerbag and those other websites.

    ugh yes. i had over 100 emails for the same 3 best

    answers i have gotten. i guess it's a glitch if everyone's

    getting them.

    hopefully the Yahoo! Staff will fix it soon.
