How do i stop yahoo from sending me those best answer emails?

Well, yahoo is aware of it.

It's a glitch, which is sending out BA notices for the same BA's every 40 min for BAs received in about a 12-hour time frame on Dec.26.

All BAs received after that are NOT getting notices at all!!!

However, you're still receiving your BA points including your TU points, just check

your activity details in your profile

or pay attention to how many points you have

There is unfortunately also no way to stop it, unless you mark them as spam until

yahoo has fixed the problem :-(

we do have an acknowledgment from a yahoo development employee on the suggestion board

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

here it is out of the horses mouth

the following thread is now a pinned thread on the suggestion board !!!!

Hi, sorry any inconvenience this has caused. I've notified an engineer who is looking in to the

issue now, so hopefully this will be fixed shortly. Again apologies for the inconvenience.

if you do go to the suggestion board, please help us, by just adding to the above thread

please do_not open any new ones, as the more threads there are, the harder it is to read them

and the more work you add for the yahoo team to actually clean up

^^^ if you take a look at the above link up here, you will see that this problem has occurred

already once 2 years ago and took a while to be fixed

so please help together community and get out the word, but don't spam the suggestion board,

just add any comments you might have to the above 2 threads

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 300 as of yesterday, probably close to 400, but there was nothing I could do to stop them from coming 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.

you go to your profile then you click edit my info then click the box that says "email me when i receive a best answer.

Go to your preferences on Yahoo Answers, and then you will be able to stop e-mail notifications.

Eugh I'm getting those too! It just started yesterday or the day before. I don't think you can get them to stop them from sending those, unfortunately.

when you post questions you have to uncheck the notify me by email box.

theyre trying to fix it right now. everyones getting it, dont worry.
