Folks, I'm getting lots of duplicate forum post notifications via email - looks like a bug to me.

Also, I'm getting notifications for forum posts that I myself have posted - probably shouldn't.

I've toned down the message subscription settings.

In your user profile, you should be able to set your individual message preferences.

Just to make sure i'm being clear: my user profile is set to "auto-subscribe".

Two issues I've seen with duplicate email notifications:
1) whenever I post a reply to a thread, I receive a notification about my own posting.
2) whenever someone else posts a reply, I receive several notifications about that reply; I also sometimes get notifications about random messages getting posted on a thread - including the original message that started the thread.

I can confirm this issue. (double mail)
It's also happening to me.

I cannot find the way to turn on those notifications. Could someone point me to the right place? Thanks.

I think the issue was caused by us using the "poor man's cron" module - it was causing timeouts, duplicate emails, and lots of other grief - so we turned the notifications off. If someone can enable the "real" cron and try turning the notifications back on, it'd be great.

Has anyone been able to get notifications working yet? It would really be great to have notification, when there's a reply to a post.
