Repeat notification for Link to Content

[Timothy M.]

@Thorn Wilde and I have experienced a strange bug. We got repeat notifications of @Renee Stevens linking to our stories in relation to the Guess an Author Reveal. I don't know whether @aditus and @CassieQ also got some for their reveals.

In my case, I got the normal notification on November 27th, when the topic posted. But then I got these just after new year:

Renee Stevens linked to your content in a blog entry: Author Guess Who #5 - The Reveal
Thursday at 02:22 AM (that's the 2nd of January)

Renee Stevens linked to your content in a blog entry: Author Guess Who #5 - The Reveal
Friday at 06:03 AM (that's the 3rd of January)

It didn't look like Renee had changed the topic in any way. I didn't get any other repeat notifications.

I'm using Chrome on a Windows laptop.

It's nothing to worry about. We've been adding content specific banners and for some reason, when the banner gets added, that notification goes out. I added banners to all of the Guess the Author topics and that's why you're getting the notifications.

I also got repeat notifications for content linked for the Author Guess Who and the 2017 Halloween contest.

Cia probably input a banner for the contest, and I put banners in for the author guess who. The notifications are nothing to worry about

Thanks, Renee. It was just a small mystery, but it's nice to get an explanation.

It confused me the first time I got one too, lol. Just vote the answer up if you don't mind

Renee's right; the system is sending you a repeat notification when a blog post you were mentioned in was edited. That's all.
