Double Notifications of Posts?

DavidColburn

I'm getting two email notifications (from our Forum to my non-admin email address) of every post even though that address is only in the user database once. (My admin email address is different.)

The account has both Member & Moderator roles.

What might cause that, please?

Vanilla Version 2.0.18.8

A search will help you out.

I search every time before I post - every time.

I didn't find anything in the Forum.

That is very odd, I found a huge amount ....

Apparently I used the wrong search terms ... sigh.

And the conclusion of all of that is ... make a partially-effective patch to the code ... or upgrade to 2.1 or 2.2

Since I am trying to make time to do the upgrade I will just live with the double-notifications for now.

Thanks.

Next time, in your opening post, let us know you have searched and the search terms or url of search results, like vrijvlinder is showing

The issue is one I faced as well. The best bet, if you want to stay with 2.0.18.8, is create another account as moderator only. You will get duplicate emails for each role if they are moderator and member. In 2.1 it seems this was fixed by having a default admin. Good luck

I've loaded 2.2 and am testing it prior to deploying ... Looking good!

Local, on your server or in separate directory on your server?

DavidColburn

Separate directory and URL on the host server.

That way when it's ready I can just point the current domain to this one.

Getting back to this it appears that Moderator Roles include all Member Roles so I'm trying just removing Member from those who are Moderators.
Is there any reason this might create an unexpected problem?

We are using 2.0.18.10 and our members are getting double emails. How do we fix this?

Update to 2.1.3 asap
