Multiple Notifications of the samemessage

I continue to receive multiple notifications of the SAME message . 8 and 10 notifications of the same message are not uncommon. Yrch !!!  

  • Me too!

    There is something new to learn everyday...

  • Fixed but foxed.

    We thought that we'd fixed the problem some time ago but something happened that made it come back. These forums are complex. For some reason the program that sends the emails used to exist in 6 different places on the server, and we have two servers running - so when the problem first occured you could get up to 12 copies.  We were able to reduce the number of places down to two on each server and we told the system to ignore three of these, meaning you could now only get 1 email. A gremlin removed the instruction to ignore, and so you saw that you got up to 4 emails.

    Hopefully the gremlin has gone, but at least we now know how to fix the issue. So, thanks for letting us know.

    OH NO! I just got 2 notifications - so the gremlin is back......

    Regards

  • Hi Frank, thanks for attending to this for us so promptly.  As you now know, we are getting two responses, which we can handle without too much problem if it can't be fixed.  Would it be perhaps, one response from each server?

    Smiles, Jan.

  • We getting four now Wattle and Frank. Talk about gremlins  !   :)

    Hi Teresa

    Thanks for that advice. I have cleared both boxes as I am not sure what the "notifications" one was for (as opposed to the community one which you said to clear). I take it clearing those won't prevent other communications from RSPB - like the monthly newsletter...

    No, you'll still receive the monthly e-newsletter as that's done via a separate system.

    If anyone else would like to sign up, you can do it here!

    Thanks

  • Friday 13th seemed like a good day to hunt for gremlins.

    How many messges will I get this time?

    One from Pres1

     

  • Hello.

    Normally I often get multiple replies but today I've just been getting one copy of each message.  Perhaps the technical people have ironed out this gremlin.  Mind you I'll say no more before I start to tempt fate ;-)

    Hi Katie

    Are you sure because the last I had was 25th September?

    The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.

    The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!

  • I get 2 copies of  the first one in the day then 3 for the second then 4 for the third ................................... 

     

    Yep .... even 2 came for this one so far!

  • I'm also getting duplicates, but as I am new to the forum I thought it was my fault for not unchecking some box somewhere or other! I seem to get 2 for each message.

    Cheers, Linda.
