Why is Yahoo sending multiple "best answer" messages for the same question and how do I stop it?

This is a current glitch with Yahoo! Answers.

many users at the moment are receiving lots duplicate Best Answer notifications for just a few best answers

I remember we experienced this glitch about 8 months ago on the site, and by the time it was fixed i had received around 60 best answers, but have been give around 720 emails regarding them!

I notice some users suggesting that you change your settings for when Yahoo! Emails you, but this is only possible for:

-Emails telling you that you have a new answer to your question

-Emails telling you that one of your contacts has asked a new question

-Email telling you someone has become your fan on Yahoo! Answers

As we do not have the Option to opt out from receiving Best Answer notifications, its not a cycle that we can break. (Yahoo! Know about the problem, and will hopefully sort it out soon)

Sorry but you cannot stop it we have tried to find out as we are all having these multiple messages since this morning (I am in the UK). Some people have had as many as 35 or more emails. One of the answerer's wrote that Yahoo is aware of the problem and are dealing with it, well that was a few hours ago and I am still getting the best answers email.

When I logged on to Answers this morning there was a message at the top of screen saying 'hello we are having problems on this site'. It was still there when I logged in again a few minutes ago.

same here. I woke up this morning with like 25. At first I was overjoyed to see how many I received, and then to my chagrin, i found that it was all the same one :(

I'm sure Yahoo will eventually settle this issue. Oh well, I'm finding slightly amusing actually :)

It's another Y!A glitch

That does it alot.

You don't. That's the way crapitalism works. They produce this sh!t and we take it or leave it. They don't want to know WTF we think of it.
