I receive notification of more than one reply (but not all)

Open Kindred-999 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Description

email notification of "new replies to the topic I post in" is turned on There were 8 new replies I received email notifications for 3 of them.

I'd expect either 8 notifications or 1 notification of the first reply only (which is the 2.0 standard)

Environment

  • SMF 2.1 RC4 GitHub from Oct 1
  • MySQL
  • PHP Version: 7.1

Is this still happening, @Kindred-999?

A couple notes on this: 1 - #7510 will fix the circumstances where the emails weren't sent when they should be sent.
2 - A clarification - due to the anti-spam measures in notification processing, you may not get 8 emails for 8 responses. There is a deliberate built-in delay (the "respawn" logic) that must pass before the notification is sent. If other replies are posted in that window, only one email is sent. E.g., if the 8 responses were all within one minute, you would likely only get 1 notification.
3 - First reply only is still an option, and can be updated under your notification settings. Pretty sure it's still the default.

I am going to close this out since #7510 was merged.
