I am no longer getting email when my answers get chosen as best. Is this happening to anyone else, or is there a setting I need to change?

    It's happening to all and the staff has yet to announce if it's a glitch or a feature.

    They haven't sent emails for any notification since I joined in March. In my old account which I was locked out of they sent it, then I was out for a few weeks, gave up and made this account and noticed that. I don't even know if they notify for reports anymore because I haven't gotten one.

    Other than a lot of spam and violation notices, Yahoo doesn't send any other notices. And... when you try to message another user through Yahoo Answers, they just might get that message two or three months later, if you're lucky.

    Yes noticed it as well ;- the way you can find out is to go into your notifications it normally shows there who won a best answer.

    Yes.You're experiencing the same thing we ALL are. No notification emails for BA or on Your Q activity/user to user emails/etc. The main YAT ask/answer profile's been inactive for 4 months. Nobody's helping on uservoice either.

    Messages that are user to user are also disabled. It's apparently been that way for over 3 months.

    If You want notifications - go to the top left of Your page & click 'Notifications.' That's All you can do.

    Yahoo no longer sends out notifications of best answers. It has been like that for quite some time.

    No, notices have been gone for some time; however, you have a notifications tab (with a bell symbol) on your page (its on the Left) if you click on it you will see all your Qs and whether they got a TU and a BA.
