How come I keep receiving the same Best Answer email?

I logged into my email and there were about 12 emails that said the whole "your answer has been chosen as best answer" and I'm not going to lie I was kind of excited. I clicked on one of them and read the question clicked on another email and it was the same answer. I clicked on the third one and what do you know it was the same question!! Now this was the other day. I logged in today and the same thing happened. There were about 10 emails telling me I was picked for the 1 question. Is there a way to stop these 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.

    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    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

    http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?prop=answers&...

    ^^^ 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

    I think they have a problem at Yahoo. I have received 3 BA that show on my profile page but have not received the emails saying I did. Maybe you are getting my e\mails as well as your own! Just joking! Seriously they must be having a problem that is affecting different folks in different ways.

    No way to stop them

    Its a glitch for which yahoo cannot be bothered to stay open on the weekend to fix.

    so just delete the emails and then sue yahoo for the emotional distress it caused you

    yes, yahoo is aware of this many people have been getting this including me i have been getting like 400 of them and this is a glitch in the system they are working on it, so we have to be patient while they fix it i guess.

  • 1 decade ago

    It's been happening to me to.

    But it's some bug that Yahoo Answers is experiencing.

    They will fix it soon.
