Help. Why is Yahoo Answers bombing my e-mail?

For the past several days, I've been getting the same e-mail (Congratulations, you've been chosen best answer) over and over at my e-mail address. It's come in more than 300 times and I can't seem to stop it. Have e-mailed Yahoo with no response yet.

Thanks.

    I'm seeing the same thing, Steve. And this was for a best answer I got back on the 23rd. Hopefully Yahoo answers will be able to fix the hiccups. The last time I saw repeats of mails like this, it was when Yahoogroups was badly on the fritz.

    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.

    i are starting to be to be double emails all day with regard to the ultimate answer to questions. i went to envision my emails this morning, and that i had like 25 messages and 12 have been from yahoo solutions on my own. bizarre.

  • Probably fixed tomorrow, seeing as it's a weekday then. :D

    that's really weird because I haven't been getting ANY emails. I got, like, 4 best answers but no emails and my contacts asked a ton of questions, but I didn't get emails... what's wrong with it?!?!

    Go into your profile in Yahoo Answers.

    There should be an option that you can uncheck that lets them email you.

    That should do the trick.

    Good luck, son.
